Re: FYI: For robot framework acceptance tests, use robotframework <= 2.8.4

Hi Johannes,

if the robot tests pass (for Plone 4; they are broken for Plone 5), we
should uprade.selenium2library = 1.5.0has some good keyword additions
and robotframework >= 2.8.4 is required for debuglibrary, which provides
useful REPL for Robot Framework.

The latest p.a.robotframework releases mainly contain new helpers for
fast test content creation and documentation screenshots.

About Plone 5 robot tests:

At the Cathedral Sprint we started work to include both Plone 4 and
Plone 5 keywords in plone.app.robotframework, but we only managed to do
the base work and not actually implement the keywords.

Our idea is to provide one set of Plone specific keywords, implement
CMFPlone tests with those, and define different DOM selectors for Plone
4 and Plone 5 (and the correct selector set would be selected
automatically).

Regards,
Asko
