LDTPLibrary is a linux desktop GUI application testing library for Robot Framework
_
that leverages the ldtp
_ libraries from the
LDTP project.

_ file.Using pip
'''''''''''''
The recommended installation method is using
pip <http://pip-installer.org>
_::
pip install robotframework-ldtplibrary
The main benefit of using pip
is that it automatically installs all
dependencies needed by the library. Other nice features are easy upgrading
and support for un-installation::
pip install --upgrade robotframework-ldtplibrary
pip uninstall robotframework-ldtplibrary
Notice that using --upgrade
above updates both the library and all
its dependencies to the latest version. If you want, you can also install
a specific version or upgrade only the ldtp tool used by the library::
pip install robotframework-ldtplibrary==10.1.0
pip install --upgrade ldtp
pip install ldtp==3.6.0
Proxy configuration '''''''''''''''''''
If you are behind a proxy, you can use --proxy
command line option
or set http_proxy
and/or https_proxy
environment variables to
configure pip
to use it. If you are behind an authenticating NTLM proxy,
you may want to consider installing CNTML <http://cntlm.sourceforge.net>
__
to handle communicating with it.
For more information about --proxy
option and using pip with proxies
in general see:
Manual installation '''''''''''''''''''
If you do not have network connection or cannot make proxy to work, you need to resort to manual installation. This requires installing both the library and its dependencies yourself.
Make sure you have Robot Framework installed <http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/wiki/Installation>
__.
Download source distributions (*.tar.gz
) for the library and its
dependencies:
Extract each source distribution to a temporary location.
Go each created directory from the command line and install each project using::
python setup.py install
If you are on Windows, and there are Windows installers available for certain projects, you can use them instead of source distributions. Just download 32bit or 64bit installer depending on your system, double-click it, and follow the instructions.
