Run Robot Tests on Docker WSL

Here we cover a complex topic of running Docker in Windows without using Docker Desktop. We use WSL 2 in Windows, setup Docker and run our robot tests.

Checkout my Medium Post to get commands used in this video: https://medium.com/@simraina/run-robot-framework-tests-in-docker-using-wsl-in-windows-aec2cbfd2bbc OR Find the commands below: wsl --install

Open your Linux terminal in WSL (you can do this by running wsl in PowerShell). Update the package manager: sudo apt-get update

Install dependencies: sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common

Add Docker’s official GPG key: curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Add Docker's repository: sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

Install Docker: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

Enable Docker service: sudo service docker start

Check Docker service status: sudo service docker status

Now that Docker is running on WSL, you can run a Robot Framework Docker container. Pull a Robot Framework Docker image: docker pull ppodgorsek/robot-framework

Run tests: docker run -v /mnt/c/Users/path/to/tests:/opt/robotframework/tests ppodgorsek/robot-framework

Find container id: docker ps -a

Copy report files from container to your system docker cp container-id:/opt/robotframework/reports /mnt/c/Users/path/to/tests
