ExcelRobot - Robot Framework Ride - Import Issue

Question

I have managed to import the ExcelRobot library into Ride and everything look normal since the name didnt got in red.

When I go to the Test Case and call the keyword Open Excel, it shows the keyword is available.

However, when I ran the Test Case, I got the error Importing test library 'ExcelRobot' failed: ImportError: No module named ExcelRobot

What can be wrong?

I'm not sure about the library that you are going to use. But I have used "ExcelLibrary" in my test suite and its perfectly working.

1. Step 01: pip install robotframework-excellibrary
2. Step 02: Check the library in your python path (Ex. C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\ExcelLibrary)
3. Step 03: Import the library in your test

Example code:

*** Settings ***
Library           ExcelLibrary
Library           String

*** Variables ***
${ExcelLocation}    ExcelTestNumbers.xls
${ExcelOutputLocation}    ExcelTestNumbersOutput.xls
${ExcelSheetName}    Sheet1

*** Test Cases ***
NumberRotation
    NumberRotation

*** Keywords ***
NumberRotation
    ExcelLibrary.Open Excel    ${ExcelLocation}
    ${ExcelRowCount}    ExcelLibrary.Get Row Count    ${ExcelSheetName}
    Log to console    Excel_Row_Count_${ExcelRowCount}
    : FOR    ${LoopCycle}    IN RANGE    ${ExcelRowCount}
    \    Log to console    Loop_Rotation_${LoopCycle}
    \    ${CurrentProcessingNumber}=    ExcelLibrary.Read Cell Data By Coordinates    ${ExcelSheetName}    0    ${LoopCycle}
    \    Log to console    CurrentProcessingNumber_${CurrentProcessingNumber}
    \    ExcelLibrary.Put String to Cell    ${ExcelSheetName}    1    ${LoopCycle}    ExcelSave${LoopCycle}
    \    Save Excel    ${ExcelOutputLocation}
    \    Log to console    Saved
    \    ...    ELSE    NumberInvalid

Hope this helps.

cheers.
