I have the following python file OpenBrowser.py
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
def openit(browser):
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
desired_capabilities = chrome_options.to_capabilities()
desired_capabilities['acceptInsecureCerts'] = True
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
#driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:Python27Scriptschromedriver.exe", chrome_options=chrome_options,desired_capabilities=desired_capabilities)
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
return browser
and a robot file:
*** Settings ***
Documentation Suite description
Library OpenBrowser.py
*** Test Cases ***
Test title
openit browser
The browser is open, but then it closes and if I want to run another keyword in RF I get error: No brpwser is open
How can I run the python function and keep the browser open?

Is the commented line in your example of any use? If not, van you remove it for clarity? Can you highlight why you want to open the browser from Python and not use the standard keywords for creating capabilities or the standard functionality for running headless?

Hello A. Kooststr, yes I will use it in the future. I want to run this python keyword and not the standard one from RF, because I have a website that doesn't have trusted cerificates and I saw that I can open it headless using desired capabilities. But now I stuck because the page that I open with python keyword doesn't remain open. It doesn't behave like Open Browser keyword from RF.

No, it's not working to open not even your url. Maybe is something wrong in my setup.

From the top of my head this should allow you to do what you want:
*** Settings ***
Library SeleniumLibrary
Suite Teardown Close All Browsers
*** Test Cases ***
TC
# Options for startin Chrome
$chrome_options= Evaluate sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions() sys, selenium.webdriver
Call Method $chrome_options add_argument headless
Call Method $chrome options add_argument ignore-certificate-errors
# Arguments for starting ChromeDriver
$service_args Create List
... --verbose
... --log-path=$EXECDIR/chromedriver.log
Create Webdriver Chrome chrome_options=$chrome_options service_args=$service_args
Go To https://self-signed.badssl.com/
Capture Page Screenshot
The service arguments will instruct ChromeDriver to generate a log file for you in the directory where you start Robot Framework. This may help with the analysis.

Ok, thanks. But now, in my page I have a form and I want to Input Text using the id of the locator. But I get the error that the locator was not found. Or when I write Get Title looks like the title is the name of the robot file...…

Is the same situation, after it is open it is closed.

Yes: No browser is Open. The problem is that my url doesn't open at all, I can see from the screenshot that is a blank page, something like it couldn't open it, maybe because of the certs.

I've updated the example to allow for the generation of ChromeDriver log. Perhaps this helps with your analysis.
