Introduction

Robotframework-FlaUI is a keyword based user interface automation testing library for Windows applications like Win32, WinForms, WPF or Store Apps. It's based on the FlaUI user interface automation library.

Installation

Install the latest stable release:

pip install --upgrade robotframework-flaui

Dependencies and python support

The robot framework FlaUI is supposed to support the current Python 3 versions.

Required dependencies

See dependencies from Documentation

Python.Net Wrapper Issues

Robotframework-Flaui 1.x

With the release of Python.Net version 2.5.2, Python 3.9 support was implemented for the first time.
However, no official support for Python 3.9 has been released yet.
- For more information see the issue #1389
If there are problems installing the Python.Net library, please use Python 3.8 instead.
This is only a potential problem by all robotframework-flaui 1.x versions which are implemented by Python.Net 2.5.2

Robotframework-Flaui 2.x

Sometimes an AccessViolationException wil be occure on latest Python.Net Version v3.0.1
- For more information see the issue #1977
- A workaround is to set Python's memory allocation environment variable "PYTHONMALLOC=malloc"

Documentation

RFHUB2

RFHUB2 is an opensource project aimed to provide nice and easy way of collecting, browsing and sharing documentation of existing keywords written in RobotFramework and python. Built with Material-UI and FastAPI, served by Uvicorn.

Under docs/keywords are the necessary .XML files to import the keywords.

These can be imported separately according to their version with the RFHUB2-CLI tool or all versions.

rfhub2-cli .\docs\keywords\
rfhub2-cli .\docs\keywords\<VERSION>

GUI Inspector Tools

There are various tools around which help inspecting application that should be ui tested or automated.

Some of them are:

FlaUI Inspect
Alternatively FlaUInspectStable more stable version

robotframework-flaui's Issues

Wait Until Element Is Hidden (wrong)

The keyword "Wait Until Element Is Hidden" does not wait until the element is offscreen but waits untill element does not exist anymore.

suggestion:
Rename the keyword to "Wait Until Element Is Gone".
Reimplement the "Wait Until Element Is Hidden" right way.

Add a set of keywords for tree and tree items

Add the keywords:

Select TreeItem By Name
Select TreeItem By Index
TreeItem Should be Selceted Name or Index

How to long press a Button from Flaui

I have a keypad which has both number and alphabets , If I long press button 1 it will add A, B or C to dial pad based on the press seconds. Is there any way we can achieve this from FlaUI.

Replacement from FlauI 3.X to FlaUI 4.0

Release Notes from FlaUI 4.0.0 - https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI/releases/tag/v4.0.0

Acceptance criteria:

Replace FlaUILibrary dlls to 4.0.0
Adjust changelog from flaui library readme
Release this versio as new Major version to split up old flaui library and new one

Keyword request "Press Key"

As a tester, I want to have "Press Key" keyword.

we have already a keyword "Press keys" which takes a list of shortcuts as an argument but it is more practical to have one more keyword which just takes one key combination as a shortcut so that we avoid lists of one element.

Tasks to do

Colons (and possibly other characters) in Test Cases Cause File Path Errors

Summary

Most filesystems recognize the colon character as a path delimiter. For example, here are several reserved characters in Windows file systems, inclusive of the colon character. If a test case has a colon (or, likely any other illegal file/path character), the robotframework-FlaUI library does not escape the character, and thus tries to save screenshots using this as part of the filename.

Example

Assuming we've installed and imported robotframework-flaui, a test case with this name:

Test Case 1234: Something to Test
    [Documentation]    Pretend we're testing something here...
    Log to Console    What's the state of the desktop?
    Take Screenshot

...will cause the library to attempt to create a screenshot with a name like: test_case_1234:_something_to_test.jpg

Issue

The screenshot cannot be successfully created because the colon is an illegal/reserved character.

Some button presses are very slow

For certain buttons, the amount of time to press them is about 5 or more seconds. But other buttons are press in under half a second.
I made this little keyword to check, then click

Click on GUI element
    [Arguments]  ${element}
    Log Many  ${element}
    Wait Until Element Is Visible  ${element}[xPath]
    Click  ${element}[xPath]

This xPath took half a second for the wait, then under a half to press:
"/Window[@name='DevTool']/Tab//Button[@name='Connect']"

Where as this xPath took over 5 seconds to wait, then another 5 seconds to press
"/Window[@name='DevTool']/Tab/Pane//Group[@name='Game Control']/Button[@name='Disable']"

Any idea why this might be happening? These xPaths are in the same window, just under different tabs.
I have something like this:

Attach to application
Switch to tab 1
Click on GUI element   connect button       # 1 second
Switch to tab 2
Click on GUI element   disable button        # 10 seconds 
Switch to tab 1
Click on GUI element  disconnect button   # 1 second

Set Window Visual State Request

Excited to see some new development in this! Thank you. :)

Was wondering if you plan on expanding on the "Window Visual State" keywords to include a Set Window Visual State, so that it can be changed to minimized, maximized, restore, etc.

Keep up the great work.

Retrieve element attributes

Greetings,

Is it possible to gather any element attributes except 'Identification' attributes?

Examples:

Excel: retrieve value from the cell:
Excel: retrieve toggle state from TopAlign button:
Or any other attributes, like: Legacy|Accessible.State, SelectionItem

Documentation improvement about Keyboard keyword documentation

The current docuementation from the Keyboard usage is wrong described.

The example is not clear enough described for this usage.

Update the Keyboard documentation
Update the changelog
Merge to master
Update the documentation keyword from the documentation branch

Feature: Return coordinates of bounding rectangle of an element

As far as I could gather from the keyword documentation, there is no possiblity, yet, to determine the bounding rectangle of an element using FlaUILibrary. However, this would be very useful to be able to combine UIA elemet location with other UI automation technologies like image recognition / OCR (e.g. using robotframework-sikulixlibrary). There are applications where you can go only so far via UIA alone (e.g. Delphi based GUI applications).
So the scenario would:

Locate an element via XPath using FlaUILibrary and gets its bounding rectangle coordinates
Search within this rectangle via image recognition / OCR using other libraries

[Bug] keyword "Take Screenshot" only available for case which will run FAIL

A long time no see you @Nepitwin

In picture, you will find that "Take Screenshot" keyword will lose its capture jpg function in a PASS case

Keyword which can return the elements State

As a tester, I need a new keyword through which I can read or get the state of the element.

But in Inspector I find a State Property through they can be detected if they are enabled or not. Here the property called Unavailable.

[Enhancement] provide a keyword to get_specific_attribute_of_element

@AndreGleichner

No matter what type of element, it owns attributes (like "Name", "IsOffscreen", "ClassName" and so on).

Now, in my case, I need to get the "SelectionItem.IsSelected" attribute of a RadioButton Element to know is it selecetd.

So, I think we can provide a keyword to realize this kind of function in our FlauiLibrary.

pseudocode like below:
def get_specific_attribute_of_element(self, attribute, xpath):
"""
attribute (str) : attribute name string
"""
attribute_switcher = {
"Name": lambda: self._get_element(xpath).Name,
"ClassName": lambda: self._get_element(xpath).ClassName,
"SelectionItem.IsSelected": lambda: self._get_element(xpath).SelectionItem.IsSelected,
......
}
return attribute_switcher .get(attribute)

Is there any way to get the background colour of a button in FlaUI?

ComboBox Support for index 0

I am facing a strange issue with a 'ComboBox' on my GUI.
If I try Select Combobox Item By Index with index 0, I get this error:
TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'NoneType'
If I start at index 1 and go to the end, no problem.

Element Should Exist  ${xPath}
${count} =  Get ComboBox Items Count  ${xPath}
Log  ${count}
FOR  ${i}  IN RANGE  0  ${count}
    Select ComboBox Item By Index  ${xPath}  ${i}
    ${data} =  Get Selected Items From ComboBox  ${xPath}
END

Also, is there a faster/more efficient way to get all the items from a combobox? For my GUI, I am seeing about 600ms per item in the list. The first couple of items take about 1 to 2 seconds each

Possibility to use Relative path for element finding

Hi,
We are checking if RobotFramework-Flaui is suitable for out test developement. Our team have around 1000+ tests in Coded UI and looking to shift to robotframework tests. We are considering the Flaui for test shift and new test development but during PoC we stuck on below issue -

Unable to locate element with Relative XPATH.
We have desktop application which has lot of pane and containers, the elements are located within these panes.
Example:
We are able to locate element with xpath: /Window[@name='XYZ']/Pane[2]/Pane[2]/ComboBox[2]

But this will be hard to maintain the XPATH, will it possible to access these elements with Relative XPATH, something like this -
//ComboBox[@name='abc'] ---> Search element anywhere on screen which is visible with given name ?

Appreciate the help!

[Bug] Facing issues after Switching back to UIA3 from UIA2 using Robotframework-flaui Library (UIA3 xpaths are not getting identified)

The below is our exact scenario.

ISSUE Description: Actually we have a desktop application where we have two different xpaths when we are trying to identify an element through FLAUI Inspect tool in UIA2 and UIA3 Identifiers types. Hence in our case we would like to switch b/w UIA2 and UIA3 while Automating end to end scenario. Also for us IS_READ_ONLY is returning 'True' in UIA2 and 'FALSE' in UIA3. Hence we need to switch B/W UIA2 and UIA3.

==>Able to switch from UIA3 to UIA2 without no issues but we are facing issues when we are again switching back to our original UIA3. Able to switch back to UIA3 from UIA2 but our problem is UIA3 xpaths are not working in this case.

FlaUI unable to identify the change in Automation ID

Hi,

Thanks for the Support !!!

I am facing issue with the FlaUI with the latest version, I have my application opened already and attaching it to FlaUI with ID.

Getting an error that,

FlaUiError: Element from XPath '//*[@AutomationId="inst1-base-Sales-ringing"]' could not be found, but still it can be found with the FlaUI inspect and the element is visible in the screen. The ID of this button changes dynamically when some actions are triggered.

PFA attached screen shot - In the FlaUI inspect in details changed ID is reflecting , but in the summary it is old ID.

Python 3.9 Support

By current state Python 3.9 is not supported because Pythonnet does not support 3.9 by current state.

cannot handle pop up window

Describe the bug
I have a desktop application screen that throws an error when you dont provide data as expected, unfortunately I dont see an automation id for this screen but I do see automation Id for a OK button on it.
I want to check in my script if this error pop up occured and I want to fail the test case in case of wrong data. If provided with correct data the pop up wont show and test cases should continue.

I tried 3 keywords:
Is Element Enabled //[@AutomationId='OkButton']
Element should not be Visible //[@AutomationId='OkButton']
Element should not Exist //*[@AutomationId='OkButton']

It does executes well is there is an error pop up coming up but when the data is clean the code fails throwing error Xpath not found or it would hang the project in pycharm and would work only when I restart everything

Code snippets
${ISErrPopupVisible} Is Element Enabled //*[@AutomationId='OkButton']

IF '${ISErrPopupVisible}'=='True'
Fail There is an issue with Input Data
ELSE
Log You have input correct data, please wait for the ouput to be generated
END

False interpretation of None in FlaUILibrary

I want to avoid the The false implementation of the timeout Argument given to FLaUILibrary as None:

There is two solutions either to Declare the timeout argument as "None" instead of None

or to declare 0

[Enhancement] add a delay into the end of "Press Key"

Hi, @Nepitwin

Usually, we want to quickly open a program or software via Run(Win+R). So we need to setup such a keyword like picture below.

You will see "Sleep 1s" is written after each "Press Key". Because we should avoid next action to be lost for too fast Presskey event.
So, I suggest that add a common delay into the end of "Press Key" will be better. "Press Keys" is same.

problem with simulating ctrl-click

I'm using the library to automate a windows application. I need to select several items in a data grid using ctrl-click. when I use the press keys keyword with 'CTRL+LBUTTON' it doesn't work but in the report it registers as a success . when I tried press keys "LBUTTON" it again didn't click but registers as success.
I'm using windows 10, python 3.8

is there another way to preform ctrl+click on an element?

Facing issue using 'Expand TreeItem' with multiple items.

Compatibility with Robot Framework 3.2.2

Latest stable release of RF is 3.2.2,
but requirements.txt states "robotframework>=3.0.4,<=3.2.1".
Is there a specific reason for the constraint, or can requirements.txt be updated to include 3.2.2?

Is it possible to use Locator found in Uia2 of FlaUInspector in this robot library

my application undertest is discoverable only in Uia2 mode when i'm using FlauiInspector but when I tried to use that element in robot code with this library it say process ID not found.

i guess i should config this library to run on Uia2 instead of Uia3 , could you help to guide on how i can config this ?

Keyword Mouse Drag and Drop

Would it be possible to get a Mouse Drag/Drop keywords? I'm willing to contribute, but I'll need lots of guidance as I haven't learned Python or how RobotFramework works under the hood.

Error Handling by Robotframework 5

Robotframework 5 (https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/releases/tag/v5.0a1) contains now a try except block.
Currently all keywords are implemented to handle error messages internally by robotframework-flaui
By these code changes all keywords can be used by an internal try except block and handle errors individually.

Full release notes https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/doc/releasenotes/rf-5.0a1.rst

Sample code by robotframework 5

    TRY
        Some Keyword
    EXCEPT    Error message    # Try matching this first.
        Error Handler 1
    EXCEPT    Another error    # Try this if above did not match.
        Error Handler 2
    EXCEPT    ${message}       # Last match attempt, this time using a variable.
        Error Handler 3
    END

For this case it would be nice to extend robotframework-flaui by these type of code handling.
For fallback usage developer should be decide if error handling should be used as old message style or as except.

Enable Flaui Exception Handling
Disable FlaUi Exception Handling

By these two type of keywords user can decide the new approach or to use old robotframework 4 usage

    Enable Flaui Exception Handling
    TRY
        Some Keyword
    EXCEPT    Error message    # Try matching this first.
        Error Handler 1
    EXCEPT    Another error    # Try this if above did not match.
        Error Handler 2
    EXCEPT    ${message}       # Last match attempt, this time using a variable.
        Error Handler 3
    END
    Disable FlaUi Exception Handling

Failed to build pythonnet
DEPRECATION: Could not build wheels for pythonnet which do not use PEP 517. pip will fall back to legacy 'setup.py install' for these. pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality. A possible replacement is to fix the wheel build issue reported above. You can find discussion regarding this at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8368.

Click is not pressing on the correct tab

At the top of my GUI is a series of tabs.
When using the Select Tab Item By Name keyword, I have no issue.
However, if I use the Click keyword, it always clicks on the first tab in the row.

Test FlaUI tab presses
    [Tags]  Tab
    [Setup]  Attach application by name  ${WINDOW_NAME}
    Log to console  ...
    
    # Originally selects the correct tab, then mouse clicks on wrong tab
    Element Should Exist  xPath2
    Element Should Be Visible  xPath2
    Select Tab Item By Name  /Window[@Name='DevTool']/Tab  tab2Name
    Click  xPath2     # mouse clicks on wrong tab
    Sleep  3s

    # Selects the correct tab
    Element Should Exist  xPath1
    Element Should Be Visible  xPath1
    Select Tab Item By Name  /Window[@Name='DevTool']/Tab  tab1Name

Also, Select Tab Item By Name documentation state it returns the tabnames, similar to Get Tab Items Names

Extend FlaUI by an timeout handler for elements

Currently the FlaUI is implemented with a 1 second timeout handler that validates every 100ms if an element exists.

This guard has the task to prevent the elements that can come up late when GUI windows are opened.

It would be good if you could configure the timeout handler optionally via the FlaUI as a timeout variable.

Default 1000 MS interval --> Library FlaUI
Disable None -> Realtime no waiting time --> Library FlaUI Timeout=None
Numerical value for configuring a smaller or larger timeout --> Library FlaUI Timeout=100

Extend Listbox by keyword

Add the keyword "Select ListboxItem By Name"

Implement Select ListboxItem By Name XPATH NAME
Write tests Listbox.robot and extend ErrorHandling tests for Listbox

[Enhancement] Provide a keyword: wait_until_element_is_enabled

Dear author
I know that you have provide a keyword: wait_until_element_is_visible, but it's not available for element like button to wait until it is enabled then to click it.
So that. please provide a keyword to wait until element is enabled. Please deal with it in your spare time.

Thanks

AutomationId usage

Not sure if this is an issue, just trying to understand the usage.

It looks like AutomationId can only be used at the same depth as the 'Name' or 'ClassName'. I feel like this defeats the purpose of the ID. ID should be unique to the application right? So instead of having a short & simple xpath /WindowName/object[@AutomationId='IDName'], we have to do something like /WindowName/long/path/to/object[@AutomationId='IDName']

Wait for an Element with timeout?

Hi,
first of all, thanks for this great library. It offers a great alternative to winappdriver based testing with all its performance issues.

May I ask for the reason why the keyword Wait Until Element Is Hidden exists while Wait Until Element Is Visible not?
The "wait for/until Xyz" is a very common pattern in many libraries and I just wondered how to write this with the FlaUI library.

Thanks & best regards,
Simon

Modified Post by @Mavnus04 in #92 (comment)_

FlaUI dll usage should be configurable

Robotframework-FlaUI should contain a configuration paramter to decide which FlaUI dll should be used.

Net Core 3.0
Net Framework 3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5
Custom path to specific FlaUI dll
Extend library property as flaui usage.
By default Net Framework 4.5 should be used.

Example usage

Library         FlaUILibrary  flaui=<core|framework_3_5|framework_4|framework_4_5|custom_path_to_dll>

Press Key issue with combined keys

I am having an issue pressing several keys on my application.

I can send a single key press with t'~' without an issue. But when I try to send ALT+SHIFT+- or ALT+SHIFT+=, it seems to respond only to the keys - or =. Yes, this key combo normally works on the application.
As you can see in my example, I tried sending it as t'' or s'' or assign it as a string, then sending it.

Show the info bar on the unity window 
    [Tags]  unity  
    Log to console  ...
    ${gamename} =  Set Variable  mygame
    Attach application by name  ${gamename}
    FlaUILibrary.Focus   /Window[@Name='${gamename}']
    
    FlaUILibrary.Press Key  t'~'
    Sleep  3s
    FlaUILibrary.Press Key  t'~'
    Sleep  1s
    
    # 'Half Time Scale': 'Alt+Shift+(minus)',
    FlaUILibrary.Press Key  t'ALT+SHIFT+-'
    Sleep  1s
    FlaUILibrary.Press Key  s'ALT+SHIFT+-'
    Sleep  1s
    ${halfTime} =  Convert To String  t'ALT+SHIFT+-'
    FlaUILibrary.Press Key  ${halfTime}
    Sleep  1s
    ${halfTime2} =  Convert To String  s'ALT+SHIFT+-'
    FlaUILibrary.Press Key  ${halfTime2}
    Sleep  3s
    
    #'Double Time Scale': 'Alt+Shift+(equals)',
    FlaUILibrary.Press Key  t'ALT+SHIFT+='
    Sleep  1s
    FlaUILibrary.Press Key  s'ALT+SHIFT+='
    Sleep  1s
    ${doubleTime} =  Convert To String  t'ALT+SHIFT+='
    FlaUILibrary.Press Key  ${doubleTime}
    Sleep  1s
    ${doubleTime2} =  Convert To String  s'ALT+SHIFT+='
    FlaUILibrary.Press Key  ${doubleTime2}

I don't understand the difference between the t'' and s'', can you explain more with an example?
Finally, can you clear up this statement? If identifier set try to attach to given element if operation was successfully old element will be reattached automatically. When does the attachment occur and to which element.
