Problems with Robotmk and CRE

[m3rlinux]

Hi,
I'm trying to configure my first test but unfortunately no "Service Discovery" is found.
I installed the software on CRE 2.0 following the courses: https://www.robotmk.org/collections

• Install Robotmk on Checkmk
• Prepare Windows as a Robotmk Client

I copied the plugin (robotmk.py) in folder "plugins" of monitored host, then I created robotmk.yml in "config" folder with this content:

# Created by Check_MK Agent Bakery.
# This file is managed via WATO, do not edit manually or you
# lose your changes next time when you update the agent.

global:
   agent_output_encoding: utf_8
   cache_time: 120
   execution_mode: cmk_async
   log_rotation: '14'
   robotdir: C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\robot
   robotframework:
      console: ''
      log: ''
      report: ''
suites:
   selenium_test: {}
#      variable:
#         TOOL1: RobotFramework
#         TOOL2: RobotMK
   test1: {}

and at the end I copied the folder containing the selenium test (selenium_test & test1) in the folder "C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\robot"; These test are in your repo: https://github.com/simonmeggle/robotmk-quickstart-windows

Al seems to work as I saw in the log "check_mk.log":

2021-12-16 10:31:00.041 [srv 10476] perf:  In [2478] milliseconds process 'python.exe "C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\plugins\robotmk.py"' pid:[11672] SUCCEDED - generated [0] bytes of data in [0] blocks
2021-12-16 10:31:00.041 [srv 10476] [Warn ] Process 'C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\plugins\robotmk.py' has no data

and robotmk_controller.log:

2021-12-16 10:37:17,967    RMKCtrl [12348]    INFO: ====================
2021-12-16 10:37:17,967    RMKCtrl [12348]    INFO: Reading suite statefiles and encoding data (utf_8)...
2021-12-16 10:37:17,967    RMKCtrl [12348]    INFO: 2 Suites to check: selenium_test, test1

However in the agent the session <<<robotmk>>> is missing.

What can I do to for more debugging?

Sorry for my poor english.

Thanks!

The format of robotmk.yml has changed over time. I guess that you copied the file from an older example and the robotmk.py in its newest version is not able to process it.
You can test this by executing robotmk-runner.py by hand with "-v" as additional parameter. Then you see how far it works and what fails exactly.

I highly recommend to install the free version of CEE and see how everything works together. If everything works here (it will), this can be your blueprint for your use case in CRE.
I personally would not recommend to abandon the added value of the agent bakery in CEE. It eases everything.

No robotmk section at all can also mean that there are python modules missind. Please check https://github.com/simonmeggle/robotmk#preparing-the-robotmk-agent.

Thanks for fast reply. You're right! Using CEE it works!
Now I have another problem using keyword "Scroll Element Into View", it returns this error: MoveTargetOutOfBoundsException: Message: (175, 866) is out of bounds of viewport width (1024) and height (683)

I select an element which is visible in the screenshot, and now it doesn't thrown excpetions, but it seems not scrolling.
The problem is that I would click on a radio button whic is covered by an iframe and I would to scroll to avoid obscuration of radio button.

Great to hear that you had success with the CEE. For questions regarding RF libraries I want to recommend you the Slack channel. There are subchannels for Selenium and Playwright as well. Best regards, Simon
