This library is deprecated. Please use Selenium2Library instead.
SeleniumLibrary is a test library for Robot Framework that enables testing of web applications. As the name suggests, it uses Selenium tool internally. Because it uses the deprecated Selenium 1.0 version also the library itself is deprecated. All new projects should use Selenium2Library and existing users are also recommended to upgrade to it.
This projects has been migrated from dying Google Code.
If you have pip installed, you can install SeleniumLibrary by running:
pip install --upgrade robotframework-seleniumlibrary
For other alternatives and more information in general see INSTALL.rst.
