Hello,

I am happy to announce the release of RIDE 2.0.5 (the previous was 2.0.3 not announced).

Current users should see a pop-up informing of this upgrade. You can upgrade with:

pip install -U robotframework-ride

You can see the release notes here. Below, is some content from it:

This version supports Python 3.6 up to 3.10.

There are some changes, or known issues:

  • Newlines in Grid Editor are not visible when in navigation mode, but visible in edit mode.
  • Auto suggestions in Grid Editor can be enabled to not use shortcut to show list.
  • On Text Editor when Saving the selection of tests in Test Suites (Tree) is cleared.
  • Test Suite with *** Comments *** can be edited but newlines are introduced.
  • Some argument types detection (and colorization) is not correct in Grid Editor.
  • RIDE DOES NOT KEEP Test Suites formatting or structure, causing differences in files when used on other IDE or Editors.
