Problems testing Win32 application with WhiteLibrary

[damies13 (Dave)]

Hi Christoph,

You probably want to be aware of these 2 posts:

Automating Desktop Application by using Robot Framework

but there are generic windows UI libraries available, like WhiteLibrary. Afaik, there is nobody maintaining WhiteLibrary anymore and then there is this pull request: https://github.com/Omenia/robotframework-whitelibrary/pull/174 TestStack.White has deprecated and that means our maintenance will also stop.

Automating Desktop Application by using Robot Framework

Hello all I am the author and maintainer of FlaUI (and previous maintainer of White) and I just got notified about someone who started a FlaUI wrapper for robot framework. See https://github.com/GDATASoftwareAG/robotframework-flaui Give it a go and return feedback if you have any. Regards Roman

I don’t have much experience library, but I did use FlaUI once very briefly in my last week of a previous role as an experiment, it work well for the windows app I asked it to interact with and WhiteLibrary didn’t work with that “Metro” app, that was with RobotFramework 3.1.? before RobotFramework existed.

I never used RED, so no idea if it works with that.

Hope this is helpful,

Dave.
