First steps

Installation

• Run npm install rallf-sdk --save to install the sdk

Create simple Robot Task

• Create the Task manifest manifest.json within the config folder

  {
    "name": "robot-dev-example",
    "type": "web",
    "main": "src/main.js",
    "version_name": "1.0.0",
    "key": "access_key",
    "secret": "access_secret",
    "language": "nodejs|python",
    "capabilities": {
      "browserName": "firefox|chrome",
      "headless": false
    }
  }

  • The name of your task will be the one in manifest.json
  • You can get the access key and secret from RALLF Panel
  • main: should be the main file of the RobotApp src/main.js

• Create a src folder within your app folder

• Now create the main file for your app main.js inside src

• RobotApp Example

  /*
    File: 'src/main.js'
  */
  const Task = require('../Execution/Task');
   
  class MyFirstTask extends Task {
    constructor() {
      super();
    }
   
    error(err) {
      this.logger.error('There has been an error ' + err);
      this.finish(1);
    }
   
    onFinish() {
      this.logger.debug("On finish");
    }
   
    onBeforeStart() {
      this.logger.debug("Before start");
    }
   
    run() {
      let device = this.device;
      let logger = this.logger;
      let robot = this.robot;
      let input = this.input;
   
      logger.debug("Task Asdfsd started with robot: " + robot.self.alias);
   
      // Must return a promise
      return device.get('https://github.com/')
        .then(_ => device.getTitle())
        .then(_ => logger.debug('title: ' + _));
    }
  }
  module.exports = MyFirstTask;

  • First you need to require Task from Execution/Task
  • Now create a class to extend Task from
  • Finally create a run function, this funtion is going to run when the Task is executed.
  • Check the docs here: selenium-webdriver

Run Locally
