This repository provides a working example to learn and test Robot Framework automation - the test scripting language used by Robotmk for Synthetic Monitoring in Checkmk.

How to Run the example

Run online in a VS Code Devcontainer (recommended)

This is the easiest way to run the example — no local installation needed. Just click the button below:

→ How to run the example in Codespace

What is a GitHub Codespace?
A Codespace is a browser-based development environment (VS Code) hosted by GitHub — no local installation needed.

Manually with RCC

To run Robot Framework suites manually, refer to the Robotmk blog post with the step-by-step instructions for RCC:

About this Robot Framework test

Full checkout-flow example using robotframework-browser and robotframework-crypto, driven by the Robotmk multi-profile feature. The same suite runs once per user profile with profile-specific encrypted credentials.

• Robotmk multi-profile execution: one robot.toml defines three user profiles (JaneDoe, JackHowe, BobSmith)
• Per-profile extend-variables override USER_EMAIL, USER_PASSWORD, and USER_NAME
• Encrypted passwords via CryptoLibrary — crypt:… values stored directly in robot.toml
• A real checkout flow modularised across multiple keyword resource files (Resources/)
• Dynamic output-dir with a timestamp expression in robot.toml

Test Cases

Test Case	Description
User Can Reach Checkout Page	Logs in as the configured user, adds items to the cart, and completes checkout

The suite is executed three times — once per profile (JaneDoe, JackHowe, BobSmith) — each with its own credentials and a timestamped output directory.
