Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

2.1.1 - 2024-11-14

Changed

  • Changed the workflow for the development versions of RIDE. Now, development versions are taken from the develop branch, and the master will stay with released version.

  • Changed the way configobj code is imported. Now is a submodule obtained from https://github.com/DiffSK/configobj.

Fixed

  • Fixed broken go to definition after editing content in resource files.

  • Fixed long arguments in fixtures appearing splitted in Grid Editor. Still, arguments info will not be correct at calling step.

2.1 - 2024-10-13

Added

  (2.1 - 2024-10-13)
- Added a setting for a specific Browser by editing the settings.cfg file. Add the string parameter
``browser`` in the section ``[Plugins][[Test Runner]]``.
  (2.1b1 - 2024-09-21)
- Added color to Test Runner Console Log final output, report and log since RF v7.1rc1.
- Added Korean language support for UI, experimental.
- Added option ``caret style`` to change insert caret to `block` or `line` in Text Editor, by editing ``settings.cfg``.
The color of the caret is the same as `setting` and will be adjusted for better contrast with the background.
  (2.1a3 - 2024-07-22)
- Added support for Setup in keywords, since Robot Framework version 7.0.
- Added support for new VAR marker, since Robot Framework version 7.0.
- Added configurable style of the tabs in notebook pages, Edit, Text, Run, etc. Parameter ``notebook theme``
takes values from 0 to 5. See wxPython, demo for agw.aui for details.
- Added UI localization and support for Japanese configured test suites, valid for Robot Framework version 7.0.1 or higher.
- Added to Grid Editor, changing Zoom In/Out with ``Ctrl-Mouse Wheel`` and setting at Preferences.
- Added actions on columns of Grid Editor: Double-Click or Right Mouse Click, allows to edit the column name for Data
Driven or Templated; Left Mouse Click, selects the column cells.
- Added command line option, ``--settingspath``, to select a different configuration. For example, you can have different
colour settings or UI language.
- Added different settings file, according the actual Python executable, if not the original installed.
This allows different configurations, like, for example, in a virtual environment
- Added context option ``Open Containing Folder`` to test suites directories in Project Explorer.
- Added a setting for a specific file manager by editing the settings.cfg file. Add the string parameter ``file manager`` in the section ``[General]``.
- Added minimal support to have comment lines in Import settings. These are not supposed to be edited in Editor, and new lines are added at Text Editor.
- Added a selector for Tasks and Language to the New Project dialog. Still some problems: Tasks type changes to Tests,
localized sections only stay translated after Apply in Text Editor.
- Added UI localization prepared for all the languages from installed Robot Framework version 6.1, or
higher. Major translations are: Dutch, Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese. Language is selected from
Tools->Preferences->General.
- Added support for language configured test suites, with installed Robot Framework version 6.1 or higher.
- Fields are shown in the language of the files in Grid Editor (will be configurable in future versions).
- Tooltips for the fields are always shown in English.

- Added context menu to RIDE tray icon. Options Show, Hide and Close
- Added sincronization with Project Explorer to navigate to selected item, Test Case, Keyword, Variable, in Text Editor
  Note: This feature is working fine in Fedora 38, but not on Windows and macOS.
  (2.0.6 - 2023-06-10)
- Added boolean parameter ``filter newlines`` to Grid Editor with default ``True``, to hide or show newlines in cells
