Guides

The guides explain how to work with RobotCode in VS Code, in PyCharm, on the command line and with an AI agent; how to configure a project with robot.toml and how RobotCode finds the Robot Framework files in it; and practices for Robot Framework code that RobotCode's analysis can follow. Each group of guides starts with an overview of its pages. Have a guide or a tip to share? See Support & Contribute.

Working in VS CodeWhere RobotCode shows up in the VS Code window, the commands it adds, and where to read more about each task.

Working in PyCharmWhere RobotCode shows up in PyCharm and IntelliJ IDEA, the actions it adds, what it does not offer there yet, and where to read more about each task.

Working on the Command LineWhat the robotcode commands do in a project and which command answers which task: running and discovering tests, checking the code, reading results, the REPL, debugging and library documentation.

Working with AI AgentsSet up the RobotCode chat plugin for Copilot Chat, Claude Code and other agents so they run, discover, debug and inspect tests via the robotcode CLI.

Configuring Projects with robot.tomlWhat robot.toml is for, who reads it, an example project that the pages of this guide build on, and what the editors take from it.

Tips & TricksPractices for structuring Robot Framework code so that RobotCode can follow it, and why some of its findings appear although the tests run.
