The robottestingframework-plugins are dynamic libraries that can be loaded in the robottestingframework::TestSuite for using some YARP functionalities.

Compilation and installation

To compile them Robot Testing Framework is required.

Once RobotTestingFramework has been compiled (and eventually installed) the robottestingframework-plugins has to be enabled configuring YARP with YARP_COMPILE_RobotTestingFramework_ADDONS=ON. For users that doesn't install on their machines, they have to append <prefix>/lib/robottestingframework to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Linux/macOS) and PATH (Windows) to make sure that RobotTestingFramework loads the plugins.
