Incompatibility with recent Robot Framework

[alexeylubyanoy]

I get this exception when using AndroidLibrary with the latest Robot Framework code: Importing test library 'AndroidLibrary' failed: ImportError: cannot import name GLOBAL_VARIABLES Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/AndroidLibrary/init.py", line 13, in from robot.variables import GLOBAL_VARIABLES PYTHONPATH: /usr/local/bin /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-7.1.0-py2.7.egg /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python27.zip /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-old /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages

Seems like it's smth similar to https://github.com/rtomac/robotframework-selenium2library/issues/429

Hello I'm getting the same error, did you find any solution ?

Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\AndroidLibrary__init__.py", line 13, in from robot.variables import GLOBAL_VARIABLES PYTHONPATH: c:\python27\python27.zip c:\python27\DLLs c:\python27\lib c:\python27\lib\plat-win c:\python27\lib\lib-tk c:\python27 c:\python27\lib\site-packages c:\python27\lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode

As mentioned by Pekka Klärck (https://www.linkedin.com/grp/post/3710899-6032671543765590020?trk=groups-post-b-all-cmnts):

"AndroidLibrary uses Robot's internal API that has changed in RF 2.9. It needs to be fixed in AndroidLibrary but I don't know how actively it is maintained. Alternatively you can downgrade RF to 2.8.7."

Since the project looks kind of abandoned, I don't think you will get a fix soon.

Maybe give this a try instead: https://github.com/jollychang/robotframework-appiumlibrary?
