RobotCode runner for Robot Framework
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are already using RobotCode or Robot Framework and need integrated test execution utilities. The package is actively maintained, carries no known vulnerabilities, has low install friction, and uses a permissive Apache-2.0 license. Install only if you have a concrete need for RobotCode-integrated test execution; it is a specialized component, not a general-purpose test runner.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; depends on robotcode, robotframework, and related RobotCode packages.
- Low install friction with a pure Python wheel distribution.

What it is and what it does
robotcode-runner is a test execution module within the RobotCode project, providing utilities to run Robot Framework tests as part of the broader RobotCode automation toolchain. It depends on robotcode, robotframework, and related RobotCode packages (robotcode-modifiers, robotcode-plugin, robotcode-robot) to integrate test execution into RobotCode's ecosystem.
The package is marked Production/Stable and supports Python 3.10 through 3.14 on both CPython and PyPy. It is actively maintained with recent releases and serves as a building block for developers who want to execute Robot Framework tests within or alongside RobotCode's development and testing infrastructure.
Use it for
- Running Robot Framework test suites programmatically from within RobotCode-based automation tools.
- Integrating test execution into RobotCode plugins or extensions that need to invoke Robot Framework tests.
- Automating test runs as part of a larger RobotCode workflow or CI/CD pipeline.
- Building custom test runners that leverage RobotCode's modifiers and plugin architecture.
