Hi,
first of all this is not an issue but a question and I beg your pardon if I'm using this channel unproperly.
My question is if you have ever tried running robosapiens tests in a docker container and/or headless.

Usually robot framework tests with browser library are executed from a container, I was wondering if robosapiens tests could be execute as well from a container, this would simplify execution in pipelines a lot.

Thank you very much for your time and patience,

Kind regards

Thank you for reaching out. In this project GH issues can be used for asking questions :)

That's a good question and something I have been interested in for some time. I did some research and learned the following.

According to Microsoft, Windows containers do not support GUI applications. However, also according to Microsoft, Windows containers support UI APIs, which in principle would allow automating e.g. WPF applications. But, this comes with some caveats.

There is a project that combines Docker with KVM, dockur/windows, which allows setting up a Windows VM using Docker Compose. Since the SAP GUI supports a silent install, it should be possible to create a VM that installs Windows, SAP GUI, Python and RoboSAPiens.

If you try this out, please let me know. There's definitely interest in this and it would be great to have a solution!

Let's leave the issue open until we figure out how to do it.
