Unable detect the fakerlibrary

[xyngfei]

Why I will encounter this issue after executing command below?

python -m faker /usr/bin/python: No module named faker

[guykisel]

Hey @xyngfei , can you give me some more information? What steps did you follow to install your dependencies? What is the output of pip list?

End up i only can use the command below to install

sudo pip install -U --ignore-installed six robotframework-faker

Can i confirm does it have any configuration issue on my mac machine?

[guykisel]

can you try installing to a virtualenv? http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/

it's usually not a good idea to install things globally.

I face the same issue. Meanwhile python -m faker lists all faker methods.

I use this setup:

(rf_demo) markus@markus-VirtualBox:~/mbo-rfdemo$ pip list

Its working fine now? I have the same issue and cannot fix.

Any update on the above issues? I try to install the latest release and the library still undetected I can't use keywords like Name etc

pip list output

Faker                          8.9.1
robotframework-faker           5.0.0

[laurentbristiel]

Hello, I just re-tried the latest versions of robotframework and robotframework-faker and it works OK for me. Maybe there is a mix in your environment between python2 and python3.

If you want to work with Python3, could you do:

• python3 -m pip install robotframework-faker
• python3 -p pip freeze <= to check the install was done OK
• python3 import robotframework-faker

=> doing so, ensure that you do everything with Python 3

Were you able to fix this bug? I have the exact same one. I don't see keywords. But it's working.

I only see these keywords
