Robot Framework IDE 2.0.7

Please see the complete release notes here.

Below is a short excerpt of it:

RIDE (Robot Framework IDE) v2.0.7 is a new release with minor enhancements and bug fixes. The reference for valid arguments is Robot Framework installed version, which is at this moment 6.1.1. However, internal library is based on version 3.1.2, to keep compatibility with old formats.

This version supports Python 3.6 up to 3.11.
There are some changes, or known issues:

  • RIDE tray icon now shows a context menu with options Show, Hide and Close
  • Highlighting and navigation of selected Project Explorer items, in Text Editor
  • When editing in Grid Editor with content assistance, the selected content can be edited by escaping the list of suggestions with keys ARROW_LEFT or ARROW_RIGHT.
  • Newlines in Grid Editor can be made visible with the `filter newlines` set to False.
  • 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.
  • When editing resource files in Text Editor, item may disappear from Project Explorer and content may be lost if clicking Apply. Better to use the Save action, so changed content is not lost.
  • 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

  • Added indication of matching brackets, (), {}, [], in Text Editor
  • Fixed non syncronized expanding/collapse of Settings panel in Grid Editor, on Linux
  • Fixed not working the deletion of cells commented with # in Grid Editor with Ctrl-Shift-D
  • Fixed empty line being always added to the Variables section in Text Editor
  • Improved project file system changes and reloading
  • Added context menu to RIDE tray icon. Options Show, Hide and Close
  • Added sincronization with Project Explorer to navigate to selected item, Test Case, Keyword, Variable, in Text Editor
  • Control commands (FOR, IF, TRY, etc) will only be colorized as valid keywords when typed in all caps in Grid Editor
  • Newlines in Grid Editor can be made visible with the filter newlines set to False, by editing settings.cfg
  • Improve auto-suggestions of keywords in Grid Editor by allowing to close suggestions list with keys ARROW_LEFT or ARROW_RIGHT
  • Improve Text Editor auto-suggestions by using: selected text, text at left or at right of cursor

We hope to implement or complete features and make fixes on next major 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.
