robotframework-remotetransfer

Very small keyword library to allow transfering log files like screenshots between host running a robotframework and robotremoteserver

Usage:

• Load remotetransfer library into python remote server and into robot framework.
• Use Transfer Files keyword to load files from output directory and save the results into a dict variable.
• Use Save Files to store those back into output directory.

This works by providing a library prefix to the keyword do denote where files are transfered from and save to, like this:

*** Settings ***
Library       Remote    http://127.0.0.1:8270
Library       RemoteTransfer

*** Test Cases ***
Try Out Remote Transfer
  ${results}=   Remote.Transfer Files  *.png
  RemoteTransfer.Save Files  ${results}

Library uses base64 encoding to transfer files over robot's rpc interface - so keep that in mind - filetransfers can grow pretty large.
