Troubleshooting

A request is missing

RequestsLibrary imports do not intercept every call. Pass each response to Capture Response. If a timeout happened first, check Failures → Execution errors; no response exists to capture. Use Capture Request Error to explicitly document a failed attempt.

The case fails but every assertion passed

Robot can fail outside Assert, in setup, teardown or data parsing. Inspect Execution errors and expand Robot's original final message. Not every case failure is a failed assertion.

JSON parsing failed

Capture the response before ${response.json()} so its body and headers remain available even if parsing fails.

Headers do not copy automatically

Some browsers block clipboard access for local files. A field displays indented JSON for manual selection and copying.

Two tests have the same name

Filenames receive _2, _3, etc. The title retains Robot's original name. Use unique names for clarity.

Libdoc cannot find the library

Generate it inside the environment where the package is installed:

poetry run python -m robot.libdoc RequestReporter keywords.html

The HTML cannot be written

Check output directory permissions and free space. If evidence generation fails, the library marks the case FAIL and records the error in Robot.
