Testrunner Robot Framework Chrome Docker Image

Image for running RF tests from docker container. Only has Chrome browser and driver.

Current versions of main dependencies are:

• Chrome 116.0.5845.96
• Chromedriver 116.0.5845.96
• Python 3.9.2
• robotframework 6.0.2
• robotframework-seleniumlibrary 6.0.0
• robotframework-requests 0.9.4

Instructions for running locally

The build script checks that there is a Chrome browser (deb package) and a Chromedriver whose major versions match and then builds the container image tagging it with the latest version number found in versions.txt.

./build.sh

Running the container requires the following options passed to docker run

# (Mandatory) mount the folder containing the robot tests
--volume=./test_folder_host:/home/testrunner/tests

# (Mandatory) mount the folder that will contain the test report.
# The folder should exist on the host.
--volume=./test_report_host:/home/testrunner/test-results

# (Optional) pass this only if the target service is running on localhost outside docker
--network="host"

# For example
docker run --network="host" \
 --volume ./tests:/home/testrunner/tests \
 --volume ./test-results:/home/testrunner/test-results \
 somename:sometag

The mounted test folder must contain run_tests.py script at the root level. run_tests will be invoked at container start.

from os import path
from robot import run

script_folder = path.dirname(__file__)
parent_folder = path.join(script_folder, "..")

options = {
    'outputdir': f"{parent_folder}/test-results",
    # other options
}

exit_code = run(f"{script_folder}", **options)
# If you want the process to report non-zero
# exit code on failed tests.
exit(exit_code)
