Code Completion for Standard Library Keywords

Code completion for keywords in the standard libraries, like BuiltIn and String
Requires configuration for which libraries are suggested with rfLanguageServer.libraries setting. E.g.

"rfLanguageServer.libraries": [
  "BuiltIn-3.2.1"
]

See a list of all available libraries here

Code Completion for Any 3rd Party Library

See defining 3rd party libraries

Support for python keywords

Keywords defined in .py files are also included
Requires that the .py files are included with rfLanguageServer.includePaths setting. E.g.

"rfLanguageServer.includePaths": [
  "**/*.robot",
  "**/*.py"
]

Configuration

By default all .robot and .resource files are parsed. This can be configured using parameters. (see Code > Preferences > Workspace Settings).

|param | description | |---------------------------------|--------------------------| | rfLanguageServer.includePaths | Array of glob patterns for files to be included| | rfLanguageServer.excludePaths| Array of glob patterns for files to be excluded| |rfLanguageServer.logLevel| What information of the language server is logged in the Output. Possible valuesoff, errors, info, debug| | rfLanguageServer.trace.server| what information of the communication between VSCode and the rfLanguageServer is logged to the Output. Possible valuesoff, messages, verbose| | rfLanguageServer.libraries` | What libraries' keywords are suggested with code completion. Can be a name of a standard library (see Supported standard libraries) or a library definition (see defining 3rd party libraries) or a combination of them. |

The includePaths and excludePaths properties take a list of glob-like file patterns. Even though any files can be matched this way, only files with supported extensions are included (i.e. .robot, .resource, .txt, and .py).

If the includePaths is left unspecified, the parser defaults to including all .robot and .resource files in the containing directory and subdirectories except those excluded using the excludePaths property.

Defining 3rd party libraries

3rd party libraries can be defined inline in the rfLanguageServer.libraries configuration block.

You may use the tool libdoc2json to generate these JSON files. You will find it here.

For example:

"rfLanguageServer.libraries": [
  "RequestsLibrary",
  "Screenshot-3.2.1",
  "SeleniumLibrary-4.4.0",
  {
    "name": "MyLibrary",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "keywords": [
      { "name": "My Keyword 1", "args": ["arg1"], "doc": "documentation" },
      { "name": "My Keyword 2", "args": [],       "doc": "documentation" }
    ]
  }
]
