Alert Should Be Present |
text= |
Verifies an alert is present and dismisses it.
If text is a non-empty string, then it is also verified that the message of the alert equals to text.
Will fail if no alert is present. Note that following keywords will fail unless the alert is dismissed by this keyword or another like Get Alert Message. |
Assign Id To Element |
locator, id |
Assigns a temporary identifier to element specified by locator.
This is mainly useful if the locator is complicated/slow XPath expression. Identifier expires when the page is reloaded.
Example:
Assign ID to Element |
xpath=//div[@id="first_div"] |
my id |
Page Should Contain Element |
my id |
|
|
Capture Page Screenshot |
filename=None |
Takes a screenshot of the current page and embeds it into the log.
filename argument specifies the name of the file to write the screenshot into. If no filename is given, the screenshot is saved into file selenium-screenshot-<counter>.png under the directory where the Robot Framework log file is written into. The filename is also considered relative to the same directory, if it is not given in absolute format.
css can be used to modify how the screenshot is taken. By default the bakground color is changed to avoid possible problems with background leaking when the page layout is somehow broken. |
Checkbox Should Be Selected |
locator |
Verifies checkbox identified by locator is selected/checked.
Key attributes for checkboxes are id and name. See introduction for details about locating elements. |
Checkbox Should Not Be Selected |

Choose File |
locator, file_path |
Inputs the file_path into file input field found by identifier.
This keyword is most often used to input files into upload forms. The file specified with file_path must be available on the same host where the Selenium Server is running.
Example:
Choose File |
my_upload_field |
/home/user/files/trades.csv |
|
Choose Ok On Next Confirmation |
|
Undo the effect of using keywords Choose Cancel On Next Confirmation. Note that Selenium's overridden window.confirm() function will normally automatically return true, as if the user had manually clicked OK, so you shouldn't need to use this command unless for some reason you need to change your mind prior to the next confirmation. After any confirmation, Selenium will resume using the default behavior for future confirmations, automatically returning true (OK) unless/until you explicitly use Choose Cancel On Next Confirmation for each confirmation.
Note that every time a confirmation comes up, you must consume it by using a keywords such as Get Alert Message, or else the following selenium operations will fail. |

Examples:
Click Button |
Send |
# Shows a confirmation dialog |
${message}= |
Confirm Action |
# Chooses Ok |
Should Be Equal |
${message} |
Are your sure? |
|
|

Register Keyword To Run On Failure |
keyword |
Sets the keyword to execute when a Selenium2Library keyword fails.
keyword_name is the name of a keyword (from any available libraries) that will be executed if a Selenium2Library keyword fails. It is not possible to use a keyword that requires arguments. Using the value "Nothing" will disable this feature altogether.
The initial keyword to use is set in importing, and the keyword that is used by default is Capture Page Screenshot. Taking a screenshot when something failed is a very useful feature, but notice that it can slow down the execution.
This keyword returns the name of the previously registered failure keyword. It can be used to restore the original value later.
Example:
Register Keyword To Run On Failure |
Log Source |
# Run Log Source on failure. |
|
${previous kw}= |
Register Keyword To Run On Failure |
Nothing |
# Disables run-on-failure functionality and stores the previous kw name in a variable. |
Register Keyword To Run On Failure |
${previous kw} |
# Restore to the previous keyword. |
|
This run-on-failure functionality only works when running tests on Python/Jython 2.4 or newer and it does not work on IronPython at all. |
Reload Page |
|
Simulates user reloading page. |

Select From List |
locator, *items |
Selects *items from list identified by locator
If more than one value is given for a single-selection list, the last value will be selected. If the target list is a multi-selection list, and *items is an empty list, all values of the list will be selected.
Select list keywords work on both lists and combo boxes. Key attributes for select lists are id and name. See introduction for details about locating elements. |
Select Radio Button |
group_name, value |
Sets selection of radio button group identified by group_name to value.
The radio button to be selected is located by two arguments:
- group_name is used as the name of the radio input
- value is used for the value attribute or for the id attribute
The XPath used to locate the correct radio button then looks like this: //input[@type='radio' and @name='group_name' and (@value='value' or @id='value')]
Examples:
Select Radio Button |
size |
XL |
# Matches HTML like <input type="radio" name="size" value="XL">XL</input> |
Select Radio Button |
size |
sizeXL |
# Matches HTML like <input type="radio" name="size" value="XL" id="sizeXL">XL</input> |
|
Select Window |
locator=None |
Selects the window found with locator as the context of actions.
If the window is found, all subsequent commands use that window, until this keyword is used again. If the window is not found, this keyword fails.
By default, when a locator value is provided, it is matched against the title of the window and the javascript name of the window. If multiple windows with same identifier are found, the first one is selected.
Special locator main (default) can be used to select the main window.
It is also possible to specify the approach Selenium2Library should take to find a window by specifying a locator strategy:
Strategy |
Example |
Description |
title |
Select Window | title=My Document |
Matches by window title |
name |
Select Window | name=${name} |
Matches by window javascript name |
url |
Select Window | url=http://google.com |
Matches by window's current URL |
Example:
Click Link |
popup_link |
# opens new window |
|
Select Window |
popupName |
|
|
Title Should Be |
Popup Title |
|
|
Select Window |
|
|
# Chooses the main window again |
|

|
Set Selenium Timeout |
seconds |
Sets the timeout in seconds used by various keywords.
There are several Wait ... keywords that take timeout as an argument. All of these timeout arguments are optional. The timeout used by all of them can be set globally using this keyword. See introduction for more information about timeouts.
The previous timeout value is returned by this keyword and can be used to set the old value back later. The default timeout is 5 seconds, but it can be altered in importing.
Example:
${orig timeout} = |
Set Selenium Timeout |
15 seconds |
Open page that loads slowly |
|
|
Set Selenium Timeout |
${orig timeout} |
|
|
