RobotFramework AIO documentation

The RobotFramework AIO documentation is available as PDF file and can be found here: RobotFrameworkAIO_Reference.pdf

The documentation consists of two parts:

  1. Common description
  2. Description of the interfaces of RobotFramework AIO components

The RobotFramework AIO documentation can be build either with genmaindoc.py immediately or with setup.py indirectly. The difference is that genmaindoc.py only builds the documentation, whereas setup.py additionally installs the documentation in

python39\Lib\site-packages\RobotFrameworkAIO

The execution of setup.py includes the execution of genmaindoc.py.

Some preparations are necessary before genmaindoc.py or setup.py can be executed:

  1. Install a LaTeX compiler (full installation of Texlive recommended)

  2. Clone the robotframework-documentation repository to your computer.

    git clone https://github.com/test-fullautomation/robotframework-documentation.git

  3. Clone all repositories containing components that shall be part of the documentation, to your computer.

  4. Add relative paths to these repositories to the genmaindoc configuration files inside: maindoc/maindoc_configs, section "IMPORTS":

    "IMPORTS" : ["../../../python-genpackagedoc",
             "../../../python-extensions-collection",
             ...

  5. Prepare the genmaindoc.py command line

    genmaindoc.py requires the following command line parameters:

    • --configfile : Path and name of maindoc configuration file
    • --bundle_name : The name of the entire framework bundle
    • --bundle_version : The version of the entire framework bundle
    • --bundle_version_date : The version date of the entire framework bundle

    In case of genmaindoc.py is called by setup.py, a direct way to define command line parameter for genmaindoc.py is not possible (it's not intended to intermix genmaindoc and setuptools command lines).

    Therefore setup.py requires for every single command line parameter a corresponding environment variable.

    Under Windows the environment can be prepared e.g. in the following way:

    set MAINDOC_CONFIGFILE=--configfile "./maindoc/maindoc_configs/maindoc_config_OSS.json"
set BUNDLE_NAME=--bundle_name "RobotFramework AIO"
set BUNDLE_VERSION=--bundle_version "0.7.0"
set BUNDLE_VERSION_DATE=--bundle_version_date "03.2023"

    The values are taken over to the resulting PDF file (e.g. in the title page).

  6. Introduce an environment variable "GENDOC_LATEXPATH" containing the path to the LaTeX interpreter pdflatex.exe (Windows) / pdflatex (Linux).

    This has to be configured in the genmaindoc configuration, section "TEX":

    "TEX" : {
         "WINDOWS" : "%GENDOC_LATEXPATH%/pdflatex.exe",
         "LINUX"   : "${GENDOC_LATEXPATH}/pdflatex"
        }

  7. Use the following command to build and install the documentation:

    setup.py install

    The output can be found here:

    RobotFrameworkAIO\RobotFrameworkAIO_Reference.pdf

    The name of the PDF file is defined in the genmaindoc configuration.
