It would be helpful if this application included a built-in macro recorder for repetitive tasks. Recording mouse clicks and keyboard actions could save time and improve productivity for users who don’t want to write scripts. Would anyone else find this useful?
Hi Jason.
Welcome to the community,
Robot framework on it’s own (without any libraries) doesn’t really do much other than assertion, it’s the libraries that perform actions on an application, so it would be difficult to have a “Built-in Macro Recorder” because it would need to know how to record for libraries that potentially don’t exist yet.
What sort of applications do you want to record for?
- If it’s a web browser based app, then you’re in luck, there are (at least there used to be) plug-ins for firefox and chrome that can record keywords for selenium library or browser library.
- for other libraries I don’t know of anything that will record but some libraries have “inspector” tools that help you find the locators that work with that library
Hopefully that’s helpful.
Dave.
