Unable to communicate with XML-RPC server

[bennyvw]

I have a rather large project with Robot Framework scripts and Python libraries in Eclipse (2020-12). When RED performs validation on my project, very often it runs into an error 'Unable to communicate with XML-RPC server'. Is there anything I can do to solve this issue, since it is very annoying. The error message is on most of my Variables import lines, but also pops up in a dialog. In the latter case it is hardly possible to continue working without restarting Eclipse.

@NaderElsayed22 I have exactly the same issue, have you found a solution to it? I'm driving crazy with the question

@NaderElsayed22 No I havent, using pycharm instead :(

[bennyvw]

I started using Visual Studio Code with the Robot Framework LSP extension.

Anyone got the solution of this issue? I am having eclipse 2020-12 with ubuntu 22 LTS.

I still see this issue , Do we know how to solve this issue ?

[bennyvw]

Clean the project, restart Eclipse, were my steps. But, switching to VSCode might be the best option at the moment.

Thank you @bennyvw , I did figure it out, I uninstall robot framework and then reinstall the 3.2.2 version. voila problem resolved

I'm stuck with this also. I'm new to robot framework on Eclipse, so, what do you mean by "cleaning the project"? What is "version 3.2.2" related to? Could'nt be RF since I use current 5.0.1 version.

Thank you for any hints, Heinrich

[KerethMidknight]

It's an older version of RF. RED doesn't support the later versions.

Hi i've got this error too. by searching in Eclipse (red.xml) i've seen that the RFW version was 6.0 !! i've uninstall it (pip uninstall robotframework + Y) and reinstall the initial version 3.2.2 (pip install robotframework==3.2.2)+ done a "clean" of all projects. And all is good now.
