robotframework-robocop
Static code analysis tool (linter) and code formatter for Robot Framework
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. Robocop is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is the standard linter for Robot Framework code. Install it if you write Robot Framework tests and want automated code quality checks and formatting; it's particularly valuable in team or CI/CD contexts.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10+ and Robot Framework 5.0+
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.

What it is and what it does
Robocop is a linter and code formatter designed specifically for Robot Framework test automation code. It parses Robot Framework files using the official parsing API and runs a suite of checks to identify potential errors and violations of code quality standards, then reports them with line numbers and contextual code snippets. The tool operates in two modes: check mode for linting and format mode for automatic code formatting.
It integrates with popular IDEs through the RobotCode plugin, supports configuration via TOML files (pyproject.toml, robocop.toml, or robot.toml), and allows rule customization and severity overrides. Rules can be disabled inline in source code or excluded globally. The tool produces reports compatible with CI/CD platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and SonarQube, and includes an MCP server for AI assistant integration.
Use it for
- Enforce consistent code style and formatting across Robot Framework test suites in a team environment.
- Integrate linting checks into CI/CD pipelines to catch code quality issues before test execution.
- Automatically format Robot Framework code to match organizational coding standards.
- Identify potential errors and anti-patterns in Robot Framework test code during development.
- Configure custom rules and severity levels to match project-specific quality requirements.
