Re: Some robotsuite weirdness (tl;dr)

Hi Jean,

do you know, which robotframework-version were you using with robotsuite 
1.2.2?

There are some major changes between robotfarmework 1.7.x and 1.8.x. and
robotsuite < 1.4.0 works only with robotframework 1.7.x and robotsuite 
 >= 1.4.0 work only with robotframework >= 1.8.x. (And these versions 
are explicitly required only in robotsuite 1.3.3 and 1.4.0.)

Regards,
Asko
