Introduction

------------

AutoItLibrary is a Python keyword library that extends [Robot Framework](http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/) by providing keywords based on the COM interface to [AutoIt](http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/index.shtml). AutoIt is a freeware tool for automating the Windows GUI.

In order to do screenshots, the AutoItLibrary uses the PIL ([Python

Image Library](http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/)).

Installation

------------

Make sure you run the installation command with administrative privilages.

#### pip install

   

```pip install robotframework-autoitlibrary```

#### source install

AutoItLibrary installs its own file and, if not already present, the 3rd party

AutoIt and PIL tools.  To install, unzip the release file into a temporary

directory on your PC, open a command window in that directory and type:

    python setup.py install

This installation creates the folder:

    C:\RobotFramework\Extensions\AutoItLibrary

on your PC and puts various files into this directory folder.

Documentation

-------------

AutoItLibrary documentation is installed by the installation process into:

    C:\RobotFramework\Extensions\AutoItLibrary\AutoItLibrary.html

The AutoItX documentation is also installed into this folder as AutoItX.chm.

Tests

-----

The AutoItLibrary installer puts a suite of self-tests here:

    C:\RobotFramework\Extensions\AutoItLibrary\tests

To run these tests, which exercise the Windows Calculator GUI, run the

RunTests.bat file in the above folder.

Note: Windows 10 Calculator is not supported.
