Hey all, new RF user trying to learn from extended code examples. I’m reading the User Guide, but it doesn’t put things together. Watching YouTube videos takes a lot of time where a simple robot file would suffice. Any suggestions on where to find those sorts of tutorials, or files a new user could understand?
But out of curiosity @Leam:
What type of examples would help you?
Just Robot Framework code?
Or complete executable examples in GitHub with dependencies and exact instructions on how to run them?
RF is pretty easy to understand in the “line by line” level. Well, easier than many things. The “User Guide” is a great reference, but doesn’t seem to show how to put everything together, nor how to prioritize the options presented for learning.
The test cases @HelioGuilherme66 gave are a great start! How to do a task from beginning to end. My usual path is to learn the software in question, like RF and the Standard Library, before trying to use other third-party libraries and such. That way the material to be learned is well contained, and I don’t spend time on libraries that have no use for me.
Videos, and other “tools”, don’t seem to give a good return on time spent. I saw one tutorial (Robot Framework: Writing and Executing Test Cases) that was a huge single page of “click there, and then click there” where a simple robot file and a few lines of explanation text would have been much better.
