RED (Robot Editor) is an editor built on the Eclipse platform, specifically tailored for developing and managing Robot Framework test cases. It comes equipped with a robust set of features that support writing, debugging, and running automation tests. With tools like a text editor that includes validation and code completion, and visual table editors that stay in sync with the code, RED is a powerful solution for test automation professionals.

Key Features of RED:

  • Syntax-Highlighted Text Editor with Validation:
    RED includes a text editor that highlights syntax and validates code in real-time, helping users write clean, error-free Robot Framework scripts.
  • Synchronized Table Editors:
    Visual table editors allow users to build and edit test cases graphically, with full synchronization to the underlying source code.
  • Powerful Debugging Tools:
    RED supports in-depth debugging with features like breakpoints, step-by-step test execution, runtime variable inspection and modification, and debugging for both Robot Framework scripts and Python libraries—all within the same environment.
  • Intelligent Code Assistance:
    The editor offers auto-completion for keywords, variables, test cases, resources, and libraries, which speeds up the writing process and reduces syntax errors.
  • Live Test Case Validation:
    As you write test cases, RED performs real-time validation, instantly pointing out any issues or mistakes.
  • Test Execution Monitoring:
    A dedicated execution view lets you track your test runs, displaying their current status, results, errors, and warnings in real-time.
  • Plugin Support via Eclipse:
    Thanks to its Eclipse foundation, RED can be extended with additional tools and features through plugins.
  • Multiple File Format Compatibility:
    RED supports several Robot Framework file types, including .robot, .txt, and .tsv, ensuring flexibility in how test cases are managed.
