About Custom Adapters


This chapter documents the two APIs you use to implement custom recording and script generation adapters. These APIs are described in the following table:

API Description
Custom Recorder Adapter API A Custom Recorder Adapter is started when a user selects Use Custom from the Method tab on the Session Record Options dialog box. Requires a corresponding Custom Script Generator Adapter.
Custom Script Generator Adapter API A Custom Script Generator Adapter generates a test script(s) from a session file recorded by a corresponding Custom Recorder Adapter.


Design Recommendation

A Custom Recorder Adapter can run as part of the multithreaded Robot session recorder process or as a separate process. If your recorder adapter is implemented in a language other than C, run it in a separate process. This design simplifies communication between the recorder adapter, script generator adapter, and other optional adapter components.
