PlatynUI Library Skill (new_core / BareMetal)

Quick Reference

PlatynUI is cross-platform native desktop UI automation for Robot Framework. It normalizes Windows UIA, Linux AT-SPI2 (and planned macOS AX) into one desktop UI model that you query with XPath-2.0-style selectors.

⚠️ Preview / pre-release. This skill targets the new_core rewrite. The only usable keyword library today is PlatynUI.BareMetal; the high-level PlatynUI library is a not-yet-implemented placeholder. Keywords, CLI output, and behavior may change.

Installation

Get the version with the right pin — this is the #1 mistake:

# ✅ new_core (PlatynUI.BareMetal, documented keywords) — pin OR use --pre:
pip install robotframework-PlatynUI==0.12.0.dev330
pip install --pre robotframework-PlatynUI          # latest pre-release
