Facts

Purpose: Browser is a web testing library for Robot Framework powered by Playwright.robotframework-browser.org · 5 Oct 2026
Automatic waiting: Keywords wait for elements to be actionable before acting, so explicit sleeps and visibility waits are not needed for those actions.robotframework-browser.org · 5 Oct 2026
Assertions: Getters can check expected values and retry assertions until the timeout.robotframework-browser.org · 5 Oct 2026
Selectors: Selectors can be chained to cross iframe and shadow DOM boundaries.robotframework-browser.org · 5 Oct 2026
Failure evidence: On failure, the library can attach a screenshot, Playwright trace, and video to the Robot Framework log.robotframework-browser.org · 5 Oct 2026
HTTP requests: The product page lists sending HTTP requests among its capabilities.robotframework-browser.org · 5 Oct 2026
Mobile web: It supports responsive testing with viewport settings and device emulation, while its documentation says emulation cannot reproduce some real-device experiences, such as iOS Safari builds or on-screen keyboards.robotframework-browser.org · 5 Oct 2026
Extensibility: Python plugins can add or replace keywords, and can use the library API and Node side.robotframework-browser.org · 5 Oct 2026
Installation: The `[bb]` install extra includes Node, while `rfbrowser install` downloads Playwright browser binaries.robotframework-browser.org · 5 Oct 2026
Community support: The project points users to Slack, the Robot Framework forum, and GitHub issues and discussions for questions and reports.robotframework-browser.org · 5 Oct 2026
Notable plugin caveat: A plugin keyword matching a built-in keyword can silently replace it because plugins load last.robotframework-browser.org · 5 Oct 2026
