robotframework-async not run with version 3.0.2 of robotframework

[nguacon90]

File "/home/minh/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/AsyncLibrary/async.py", line 42, in wrapped_f
f = self._get_handler_from_keyword(keyword)
File "/home/minh/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/AsyncLibrary/async.py", line 34, in _get_handler_from_keyword
return EXECUTION_CONTEXTS.current.get_handler(keyword)
AttributeError: '_ExecutionContext' object has no attribute 'get_handler'

Is 3.0.2 the first incompatible version?
Is this true for newer versions as well?

Looks like this issue is happening in ROBOT 3.0.4

robot.version
'3.0.4'

As a result, when I try running a simple script with "sleep", the execution hangs.
Python: 2.7.6

Just debugged a bit further. Looks like the "get_handler" method has been removed from the robot.running.context lib.
There is "get_runner" method but it looks like this is for an entirely different purpose.

I have ran into the same problem, the "get_handler" method has been removed in some old version and it will result in exception in new version of rf.
I have modified the wrapped_f method to fix it but the codes of robotframework is a bit complex for me, so I am not sure whether there will be any other issues.

def wrapped_f(q, *args, **kwargs): ''' Calls the decorated function and puts the result in a queue ''' try: context = EXECUTION_CONTEXTS.current runner = context.get_runner(keyword) ret = runner.run(Keyword(name=keyword, args=args), context) q.put(ret) except Exception as ex: print ex

@jeffjiang0613 provided here an in-comment fix/update to changed robotframework code. BUT, I think RF is not designed to run keyword's in threads (this way). The runner.run() method (write) accesses, data thus syncing techniques (like semaphores) might be required in RF to work for this lib.

A small snippet with that lib produces sometimes an error like this:

[ ERROR ] Reading XML source 'output.xml' failed: ParseError: mismatched tag: line 100, column 2

Watching file output.xml shows, that a writer in thread and a writer in main thread can write both a the same time in this resource.

Yes,I met the issue.

It seems that robot framework does not support call keywords concurrently even though I use threads in python.

I think the implementation in robot framework changed. There is no longer a get_handler method.
I forked the library and did the necessary adaptations. Further I changed the implementation such that exceptions are handled. You can find my fork here:
