OpenApiDriver has compatibility issues with Robot Framework 7.0.0
Hi,
Really nice library! I was playing around and noticed that OpenApiDriver doesn't work with RF 7.0.0. Reproduce steps:
- git clone https://github.com/MarketSquare/robotframework-openapidriver.git
- poetry install
- on console 1 start test server
poetry run inv start-api
- on console 2 run tests with RF 6.1
poetry run inv atests # 92 tests, 80 passed, 0 failed, 12 skipped
- upgrade to RF 7.0.0
poetry add robotframework==7.0.0
- run tests
poetry run inv atests
=> 92 tests, 7 passed, 85 failed
Hi @SaaristoAntti,
There was indeed an unforseen regression that I didn't catch (OpenApiLibCore was checked and is fine, OpenApiDriver slipped through and is impacted).
This issue is due to an unforseen change in RF 7.0 that changes BuildIn.run_keyword in very specific circumstances . These specific circumstances are true for one keyword call in OpenApiDriver.
Pekka intends to include a fix for this regression in RF 7.0.1.
Please let me know if you urgently need support for RF 7 with OpenApiDriver or that it's fine for you to wait for RF 7.0.1. A fix from my side would have to be a (somewhat dirty) workaround to prevent running the issue and definitely not code that I would want to keep in place after the fix rolls out.
Hi,
wow that was fast reply. No need for urgent fix and I wouldn't even recommend to do any dirty fixes.(I have seen too many quick and dirty fixes :). I was just playing around with the library since I find it very interesting and useful on API testing. Keep up the good work in the Robot Framework environment!
The related issue in the robotframework repo is this one: https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/issues/5031
I'll keep this issue open until a fix is available. Feel free to contact me (easiest is on the RF Slack) if you have questions!
