What’s Changed

• Aside from updates to dependencies the focus of this release was improving the Desktop Library's performance. This included:
  • Adding a new persistent desktop background session to allow and speed up actions that need access to the desktop. Specifically the 'Select Element From List' keyword sometimes needs access to the desktop session in order to select an item. Having access to that on the fly allows this to happen seamlessly.
    • A user can switch to this session as needed with Switch Application | Desktop
  • Refactoring and improving the code to get closer to pure python performance. Through feedback and testing we found that the code was running much slower than pure python code. After some changes in how elements are found we are much closer now with about a 4% slower than python speed in an equivalent test.
  • Deprecating the 'Click Text' and 'Mouse Over Text' keywords as they were 1. Just a shortcut for the 'Click Element' type keywords using the 'name' prefix and 2. They were horribly inefficient as they just used xpath. These keywords will be removed at a later date.

Robot Framework--->3.1.1
Robot Framework Selenium Library---> 3.3.1

Seems that SeleniumLibrary actually added a method called 'Scroll Element into View' that not only does the same thing as our keyword but is named the same and was causing issues on new node installations.

Taking this time to update a few dependencies we have:
robotframework: 3.0.2 ----> 3.0.4
robotframework-requests: 3.4.7 ----> 0.5.0
robotframework:-selenumlibrary 3.0.1 ----> 3.2.0
requests: 2.18.4 ----> 2.20.1
selenium: 3.8.1 ----> 3.141.0

Objects returned from the requests library were being defined as list-like and treated as such with the new dictionary enhancement in robotframework.

We are now returning DotDicts as response objects which maintain the same level of functionality inside robot.

Potential Issues:
Some of the internal functions may no longer function if these were being interacted with directly in a python file, particularly the following:

• next()
• iter_content()
• iter_lines()
• raise_for_status()

• Fixed issue #32

• Freeze library version of robotframework

The newest update to Robot Framework fundamentally changed the dictionary variables:
https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/issues/2600

We need some time to update the internals of Zoomba to match the new change.

Included in this issue were the two following changes to the unmatched keys returned for the validator:

• Unmatched keys in nested lists/dictionaries now have a tree that follows e.g root.key[4].key_with_issue
• Error is given after a try except for a value error under key_by_key instead of allowing exception

Additionally, items under a list that are now strings are passed recursively under a temporary dictionary with the primary key being the current active key. This means that items other than strings and dicts inside lists may now be validated under the key_by_key function.
