Robot Framework library for running processes. This library utilizes Python's subprocess module and its Popen class. The library has following main usages: Running processes in system and waiting for their completion using Run Process keyword.
Starting processes on background using Start Process. Waiting started process to complete using Wait For Process or stopping them with Terminate Process. I have been reading up on the robot framework documentation but i am still not very sure about the difference between start process and run process.
Do i need to use start process first then run. [docs] def run_process(self, command, *arguments, **configuration): """Runs a process and waits for it to complete. ``command`` and ``*arguments`` specify the command to execute and arguments passed to it.
See `Specifying command and arguments` for more details. ``**configuration`` contains additional configuration related to starting processes and waiting for them to finish. See `Process.
Returns the process ID (pid) of the process as an integer. If ``handle`` is not given, uses the current `active process`. Starting from Robot Framework 5.0, it is also possible to directly access the ``pid`` attribute of the ``subprocess.Popen`` object returned by `Start Process` like ``${process.pid}``.
Definition at line 673 of file Process.py. Process is used for running processes, this library utilizes python submodules and its open class. The main use of the library is to wait for the running process in the system and compile using the run process keyword.
Robot Framework is a Python-based, extensible keyword-driven automation framework for acceptance testing, acceptance test driven development (ATDD), behavior driven development (BDD) and robotic process automation (RPA). It can be used in distributed, heterogeneous environments, where automation requires using different technologies and interfaces. The framework has a rich ecosystem around it.
The Process API endpoint is defined by RC_API_PROCESS_HOST environment variable, which is available during Robocorp Workforce Agent runs. Examples Robot Framework In the following example a task creates two input work items, and starts a process with those items. This results in 2 different process runs in the Control Room.

Hi, I'm trying to run a cmd command using the Keyword "Run Process", but the problem is that this cmd command needs admin rights, so I'm not sure how to do it, I tried running the robot test from a cmd that is opened as administrator but it didn't really help.
Thanks in advance. as when running the ``robot`` command on the command line.:param options: Options to configure and control execution. Accepted options are mostly same as normal command line options to the ``robot`` command.
Option names match command line option long names without hyphens so that, for example, ``--name`` becomes ``name``.
