rf Seleniumlib to Browser Lib

What it does

This skill automates the migration of Robot Framework test suites from the legacy SeleniumLibrary to the modern, Playwright-based Browser library. It handles the heavy lifting of identifying keyword equivalents, restructuring file hierarchies, and updating test configurations while maintaining repository consistency.

Why use this skill

Unlike simple search-and-replace tools, this skill understands the architectural shift between Selenium and Playwright. It focuses on behavior preservation rather than mechanical keyword mapping. It intelligently detects existing repository patterns, handles transitive dependency conflicts (preventing "Multiple keywords with name" errors), and generates parallel test files so you can migrate incrementally without breaking your current CI/CD pipeline.

Key Features

• Repo-First Adaptation: Naturally adopts your project's specific naming conventions and setup patterns.
• Dependency Analysis: Automatically traces import chains to prevent Selenium/Browser library conflicts.
• Smart Locators: Converts brittle XPaths into stable, Playwright-native semantic locators (role, text, label).
• Parallel-Ready: Refactors setups to use isolated browser contexts, enabling faster parallel execution.
• Risk Assessment: Flags high-risk areas like SSO, multi-tab handling, and file uploads for manual review.

Supported Tools

Optimized for Robot Framework environments using SeleniumLibrary and robotframework-browser. It utilizes file system tools (glob, grep, read/write) to analyze and refactor your codebase efficiently.
