The markdown mode provides both syntax highlighting and code folding for headers and lists. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this works quite well as an outliner. Today I needed to do a little outlining, so I pulled up brackets and created a new file named “notes.md” (.md is an extension for the markdown format). In order to eat my own dog food I’m slowing starting to use brackets instead of emacs for my go-to text editor. Lately I’ve been working on an extension to the brackets text editor for the robot framework. I sometimes use its built-in outline mode, but more often then not I just type into a never-ending buffer named “notes.txt”. Prior to this change it only picked up keywords in external libraries and resource files.įor years (and years and years) I’ve used emacs as my primary editing tool. It’s a seemingly simple thing, but seems to add to the editing experience by cutting down the number of times you have to type cumbersome characters.įinally, keyword hints (when you press control-space in a place where a keyword is likely) now includes local keywords. If you type "$“, move the cursor inside the curly braces, and bring up the list of variables. There is also now some basic support for hinting variables. Code hints now behave a bit more like other editors.

This version has improved coding hinting support. I’ve pushed a new version of the robot framework plugin for brackets. In addition to the new features, a few small bugs have been ironed out as well, such as better support for dark themes. This version adds a “Robot” menu to the menubar, which provides a way to learn the shortcuts associated with the test runner and keyword search. This would typically be used with the –suite option. For example, if you are editing “smoke.robot”, “%SUITE” will be replaced with “smoke”. If you include the string %SUITE in the command, it will be replaced with the name of the suite that is currently being edited. When you run a test, a window will slide up from the bottom with the output of the pybot/jybot command. Version 1.0.0 now includes the ability to run robot right from within the editor. You can filter the list, and there is a link that allows you to paste the highlighted keyword into the editor. From the Robot menu select “Show keyword search window” and it will display a list of keywords along with their synopsis. If you are running the robot framework hub, you can search through all of the keywords right from within brackets. Both of these features are available via hotkey, but can also be started from the new Robot menu on the menubar. This version brings two significant new features: keyword search, and the ability to run tests right from within brackets.

More information on robotframework-lintįor more information about robotframework-lint see robotframework-lint wiki AcknowledgementsĪ huge thank-you to my current employer, Echo Global Logistics who generously allows me to work on this project as part of my day job.Īfter a bit too long of a delay, version 1.0 of the robot framework extension for brackets is available. Clicking on an item will move the cursor at or near where the violation was detected.

If rule violations are detected they will appear at the bottom of the window. Once it has been configured, robotframework-lint will be called every time you save a. The easiest way to do this is to put all of your options in a file, and reference that file with the -A/–argumentfile option.įor example, if you have an argument file named /Users/bryan/rflint.args, you can change the settings to be rflint -A /Users/bryan/rflint.args (note: you cannot use ~ to represent your home directory you need to use an absolute file name) The current file being edited will be added at the end of the command.

You can include any rflint arguments that you want.

Do this by selecting “Robot Settings…” from the “Robot” menu, which will display a dialog allowing you define how to call rflint. To use the linting feature you simply need to define how to run robotframework-lint. In all cases, one or more violations will cause a yellow triangle to appear on the status line. The use of robotframework-lint is hooked into the standard linting mechanism of brackets, so you can control whether the window of items will appear or not. Of course, many of the advanced features of brackets are also available when editing robot files, including:
