How to run tests in parallel using Robot Framework Maven plugin? - maven

I'm using the Robot Framework Maven plugin to execute my Robot Framework scripts. I'm using this plugin because some of my keywords are implemented in Java and packaged inside an external library.
I want to be able to run those scripts in parallel through Maven/Jenkins/Selenium Hub.
I think that the RF plugin Maven "out of the box" does not offer this possibility... unless I'm mistaken.
I also looked at the possibility of using Pabot, but I could not achieve to call Pabot from Maven.
Does anyone have an idea to get to run the tests in parallel?

Is it possible to create html Cucumber Report without Maven

I'm working on Cucumber automation using selenium webdriver. I'm fairly new and have not used Maven just yet. I have not been able to generate an html report. Currently, my target remains blank.
Is it because I'm not using Maven or is it possible to create/generate without it
If YES, then how?
If NO, then whats the reason?
You can use cucumber without maven, you just need to add cucumber .jar file manually. (here you have exemple)
However I recommend you to use maven or ant or gradle. It does the same thing but automatically.

Can we used Maven as build tool for protractor

So i am trying to create a protractor test with cucumber and use Maven as build tool and project management tool .Is it a feasible combination using Maven with cucumber and protractor. If yes ,please advice how.
Yes, you can use maven as a build tool for cucumber project, here is the link i am providing which is the best official link of cucumber in which they have mentioned every thing in a clean way.
https://docs.cucumber.io/guides/10-minute-tutorial/
you can refer this link it will clear all your confusion and you'll have clear vision of using maven in your project.

Will Maven support this application setup?

I'm going to try to phrase this so that it is not an opinion based question. I have been doing some reading into other Maven questions and I do not think this is a duplicate, but if it is, please point me in the right direction.
I am writing a series of WebDriver JUnit tests to test the front end of my institution's web page. The tests are also configurable so as to be used both for regression testing as well as testing new features as they get added to the front end. Essentially module is executed based on the user's selected preferences which will create custom configuration options and custom scripts to execute the tests and then ultimately runs the scripts.
My project is using Maven to manage the dependencies, but was originally using Ant to execute the module and then generate the JUnit report. The question is if Maven would be able execute the project in a similar manner to Ant, as well as be able to generate the JUnit reports (or something equivalent).
Many thanks.
There is a maven-selenium-plugin that can be used to run Selenium tests and maven-failsafe-plugin can be used with it to generate your results. If you would like to see an example in use you could search for "stests" in Rice's pom.xml.
Configuration of properties in your tests can be handled in a variety of ways, I usually make use of System properties and/or property files. Dynamically configuring which tests to run I haven't found a solution I am happy with.

Is it necessary to have Maven and Junit or TestNG to run sauce labs for mobile testing

We have a custom framework built for Selenium with Java and we do not use Junit or TestNG and Maven. We are using to ant build our project. So I wanted to understand is it necessary to have Maven and Junit or TestNG to run sauce labs for mobile testing? We are planning to include Appium in our framework and would like explore way for executing our test on sauce lab.
If there are any alternate option we have then please point me to them.
Thanks,
Raghav
So, since you are using Ant, then the answer is No you do not need maven. Both Ant and Maven are project dependency management tools.
As far as the testing framework goes, you don't have to use any of them, but the reason you would want to use them, is for Pass/Fail recognition.
With a testing framework you can run each test individually and see a green pass, or red fail within your IDE. As well as suite management (See TestMethodRunner) It's possible that SauceLabs can detect these frameworks and detect failures as well, so I wouldn't see why you wouldn't use at least jUnit or TestNG.

Spring Test Without Maven

I want to do unit test on Spring Web Application using Spring Test. When I tried to learn in web got all the tutorials with maven. We are not using maven in our project. Is there any way to do this test without maven.
maven is a tool for build processes. You really don't have to use it.
What you need is to write tests with a testing framework, for exapmle junit
The dependencies you need (spring, junit) must be in your classpath. If you're not using maven then any other way you prefer.
You can use this question to run tests from command line if that's what you need.
To make it clear in other words - maven provides you with a build cycle that downloads your dependencies and put them in your classpath. This is something that you can do manually (configure your classpath and put needed jars in the classpath). The second thing maven gives you is the test life-cycle. But you don't have to use it and you can run unit-tests from command line according to the link I put in bullet 3 or running through the IDE. Most of eclipse and Intellij versions come with built-in support for running tests.
