Robot Framework IDE (RIDE) Execution profiles not showing up


I have installed Robot Framework for multiple machines. There are python2 and python3 and packeges for them on both. The process of the installation was the same. On machine A there are more Execution Profile (jybot, pybot, robot, robot 3.1) while on the other (B) there are only jybot and pybot if I start RIDE with python2 and jybot and robot if python3.

What is the difference, or how can I add more Execution Profiles for RIDE?

  • Python 2.7.11
    • robotframework==3.0
    • robotframework-ride==1.5.2.1
  • Python 3.7.4
    • robotframework==3.1.2
    • robotframework-ride==1.7.3.1

There is no robotframework related difference in PATH

Solution

  • I have finally found it.

    In C:\<username>\AppData\Roaming\RobotFramework\ride folder there is a settings.cfg file.

    In this file there was a runprofiles = [('jybot', 'jybot.bat')] row.

    I've changed it to runprofiles = [('jybot', 'jybot.bat'), ('pybot', 'pybot.bat'), ('robot 3.1', 'robot')] and now I can modify the Execution Profile in RIDE as I want.

    But I don't really understand and can't explain why and when became the two setting.cfg files different.
