Support `@keyword` decorator
EddyPronk opened this issue · 3 comments
When I tried to use an existing class containing keywords in a RemoteServer I found out that the @Keyword decorator is not supported.
I'd be happy to help implementing this if we can discuss why the current implementation is not a true proxy.

This is a good idea. Remote server doesn't really need to care about @keyword
decorator, though, it only needs to check robot_name
and robot_tags
the decorator sets (and which can also be set otherwise). Implementation should basically contain two things:
-
If
robot_name
is set to any meaningful value (i.e. non-empty string), keyword name reported to Remote library should be set based on it. -
Possible tags set with
robot_tags
should be added at the end of the keyword documentation usingTags: t1, t2, t2
syntax. This is needed because the dynamic API and the remote interface lack possibility to report keyword tags directly. Adding newget_keyword_tags
method would be nice, but that is a separate task.
To learn more about the remote library interface implementation, please take a look at the docs in the User Guide:
http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#remote-library-interface
I implemented both now.
When a library imports robot.api.deco then test/libs/logging.py conflicts with the logging module of the standard library.
