Robot Framework Live Testing Tool

A Visual Studio Code extension that enables real-time, interactive test execution for Robot Framework.

Instead of waiting for an entire test suite to run, this tool pauses execution and allows you to send specific keywords, variables, or multi-line control blocks (like FOR and IF loops) directly from your editor to the active Robot Framework session.

Features

  • Interactive Execution: Highlight code or place your cursor on a line to run individual lines or blocks on the fly.
  • Smart Control Block Parsing: Natively handles FOR, WHILE, TRY, and IF statements (both block and inline) without crashing the live session.
  • Terminal Output: Routes all execution logs directly to the VS Code terminal.

Installation

  1. Go to the Releases page of this repository.
  2. Download the latest .vsix file.
  3. Open VS Code and navigate to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X).
  4. Click the ... menu at the top right of the Extensions panel.
  5. Select Install from VSIX... and choose the downloaded file.
