Robot Framework - Selenium2library - Check the Favicon of the page
According to the currently applied standards, the correct way to set the favicon is through a link tag, having rel="icon" attribute, though some sites still use rel="shortcut icon" (more details in the wikipedia link above). This xpath covers both:
${loc}= xpath=//link[@rel="link" or @rel="shortcut icon"]To get its value, use the normal robotframework approach:
${favicon}= Get Element Attribute ${loc}@href
Figured it out.I basically grab the href of the link tag in question, and then compare them using the "should be equal as strings" keyword. I would have solved it sooner, but the icon link tag was not the first link tag. Below is the lines I used:
${Favicon1} = Get Element Attribute //link[2]@hrefShould Be Equal As Strings ${Favicon1} http://localhost:8080/bin/icons/1.icoMany thanks to Bryan Oakley for nudging me in the right direction.
