Robot Framework IDE 2.0

Please see the complete release notes here.

Below is a short excerpt of it:

This is the first version without support for Python 2.7. The last version with support for Python 2.7 was 1.7.4.2.
Support for Python 3.6 up to 3.10. The minimal wxPython version is, 4.0.7, and RIDE supports the current version, 4.2.0.

There are some important changes, or known issues:

  • On MacOS to call autocomplete in Grid and Text Editors, you have to use Alt-Space (not Command-Space).
  • On Linux and Windows to call autocomplete in Grid and Text Editors, you have to use Ctrl-Space.
  • On Text Editor the TAB key adds the defined number of spaces. With Shift moves to the left, and together with Control selects text.
  • Text Editor also accepts the old : FOR loop structure, but recommended is FOR and END.
  • On Grid Editor and Linux the auto enclose is only working on cell selection, but not on cell content edit.
  • On Text Editor when Saving the selection of tests in Test Suites (Tree) is cleared.
  • Test Suite with *** Comments **** can be edited but newlines are introduced.
  • Some argument types detection (and colorization) is not correct in Grid Editor.
  • RIDE DOES NOT KEEP Test Suites formatting or structure, causing differences in files when used on other IDE or Editors.

New Features and Fixes Highlights

  • Auto enclose text in {}, [], "", ''
  • Auto indent in Text Editor on new lines
  • Block indent in Text Editor (TAB on block of selected text)
  • Ctrl-number with number, 1-5 also working on Text Editor:
    _1. create scalar variable
    _2. create list variable
    _3. Comment line (with Shift comment content with #)
    _4. Uncomment line (with Shift uncomment content with #)
    _5. create dictionary variable
  • Persistence of the position and state of detached panels, File Explorer and Test Suites
  • File Explorer and Test Suites panels are now Plugins and can be disabled or enabled and made Visible with F11 ( Test Suites with F12, but disabled for now)
  • File Explorer now shows selected file when RIDE starts
  • Block comment and uncomment on both Grid and Text editors
  • Extensive color customization of panel elements via Tools>Preferences
  • Color use on Console and Messages Log panels on Test Run tab
  • In Text Editor the same commands as in Grid Editor are now supported: Move Up/Down Rows, Insert or Delete Rows and Insert or Delete 'Cells'

We hope to implement or complete features and make fixes on next version 2.1 (in the end of 2023).

Linux users are advised to install first wxPython from .whl package at wxPython.org, or by using the system package manager.
