Extend RobotFramework SeleniumLibary

Question

I am trying to extend the RobotFramework SeleniumLibray to override open_browser method. The problem is, I am not even sure which class I should override.

Library

https://github.com/robotframework/SeleniumLibrary/blob/master/src/SeleniumLibrary/init.py

following code gives the error.

if I extend the BrowserManagementKeywords class, I am not sure what should I pass as ctx in constructor argument.

from SeleniumLibrary import SeleniumLibrary
import env


class DriverManager(SeleniumLibrary):

    def open_browser(self, url, alias=None, ff_profile_dir=None):

        browser = env.capabilities.get("browserName")
        remote_url = env.host
        desired_capabilities = env.capabilities

        return super(DriverManager, self).open_browser(url, browser, alias, remote_url, desired_capabilities, ff_profile_dir)


DriverManager().open_browser("https://google.com")

Error

AttributeError: 'super' object has no attribute 'open_browser'

Can you explain what it is that you're trying to achieve functionally? I.e. the motivation to choose to override the class as opposed to creating a new library and passing the SeleniumLibrary object to it? — A. Kootstra, Dec 06 '17 at 19:17
I am trying to run tests on mobile(using appium) as well as on browser (using selenium). I was thinking to write a class which over rides AppiumLibary or SeleniumLibaray based on my config. and then over ride open_browser and open_application to read from config. — Gaurang Shah, Dec 06 '17 at 19:19
That does not motivate the design choice to extend the class. When using Robot Framework most of us use Robot Script to automate the browser. So, what it that requires a python solution? — A. Kootstra, Dec 06 '17 at 19:23
it's hide the underlying complexity. I am trying to create a new library in Python which will handle driver creation. — Gaurang Shah, Dec 06 '17 at 19:27
Have you had a look at this post which describes creating a [custom library](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23703870/pass-existing-webdriver-object-to-custom-python-library-for-robot-framework) that uses an existing Selenium?Library instance. — A. Kootstra, Dec 06 '17 at 19:36
Is this really your code, or is that first `def` supposed to be `def open_browser(...)`? — Bryan Oakley, Dec 06 '17 at 19:39
@BryanOakley thanks. I might have made mistake while copying code — Gaurang Shah, Dec 07 '17 at 16:36
Is this the solution to your problem, or just a copy-and-past to [so] error? — A. Kootstra, Dec 07 '17 at 21:44
