Incompatibility with recent Robot Framework

[alexeylubyanoy]

I get this exception when using AndroidLibrary with the latest Robot Framework code:
Importing test library 'AndroidLibrary' failed: ImportError: cannot import name GLOBAL_VARIABLES
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/AndroidLibrary/init.py", line 13, in
from robot.variables import GLOBAL_VARIABLES

Seems like it's smth similar to robotframework/SeleniumLibrary#429

Hello I'm getting the same error, did you find any solution ?

As mentioned by Pekka Klärck (https://www.linkedin.com/grp/post/3710899-6032671543765590020?trk=groups-post-b-all-cmnts):

"AndroidLibrary uses Robot's internal API that has changed in RF 2.9. It needs to be fixed in AndroidLibrary but I don't know how actively it is maintained. Alternatively you can downgrade RF to 2.8.7."

Since the project looks kind of abandoned, I don't think you will get a fix soon.

Maybe give this a try instead: https://github.com/jollychang/robotframework-appiumlibrary?

Hi a-padinha,

I am also facing the same error
'Importing test library 'AndroidLibrary' failed: ImportError: cannot import name GLOBAL_VARIABLES'

Is your issue resolved???? If resloved, Help me how to resolve it.

I installed it using following command:
pip install --upgrade robotframework-androidlibrary

and following are the revisions i am using:
robotframework (3.0)
