What is this gist?

A question was asked within the Robot Framework community. That is "Does anyone know how to interact with ... mat-select fields in the robot?". This is a detailed response that delves into both the specific problem but also some themes around that question and my examples.

Disclaimer

I have alot to say (why these locators, what is this Angular Library and a lot of how one uses it, etc) but little time. So I expect this to be a incomplete and conssistanly in flux gist. But hopefully it is helpful.

Implemented

Launch .robot files [Ed: Does this mean executing robot scripts or loading/"opening" files in an editor?] Code completion for keywords, section headers and section settings Go to definition for keywords (new in 0.0.9) Syntax highlighting [Ed: list of syntax?][Ed: is this done by the lsp or the grammer and ide?] Syntax validation [Ed: is this done by the lsp or the grammer and ide?] Code Formatting [? definition]

Functionality for Robot Framework IDE or Editor

Running list of functionality and features that make up a useful set of tools within an IDE or Editor.

Functionality I would like to see

RTL support
show formatting marks (similar to what one sees in Word or LibreOffice)

	import logging
	import sys

	root = logging.getLogger()
	root.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

	handler = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
	handler.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
	formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
	handler.setFormatter(formatter)

	for /F "tokens=2" %%v in ('chromedriver --version') do (
	set Version=%%v
	for /F "tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=." %%a in ("%Version%") do (
	set Major=%%a
	set Minor=%%b
	set Revision=%%c
	set Tail=%%d
	)
	)
