remote_tests.txt:

*** Settings ***
Library    Remote    http://localhost:${PORT}

*** Variables ***
${HOST}    localhost
${PORT}    8270

*** Test Cases ***

Count Items in Directory
    ${items1} =    Count Items In Directory    ${CURDIR}
    ${items2} =    Count Items In Directory    ${TEMPDIR}
    Log    ${items1} items in '${CURDIR}' and ${items2} items in '${TEMPDIR}'

Count Items in Directory With Output
    ${items1} =    Count Items In Directory With Output    ${CURDIR}
    ${items2} =    Count Items In Directory With Output    ${TEMPDIR}
    Log    ${items1} items in '${CURDIR}' and ${items2} items in '${TEMPDIR}'

Do Awful Things
    Awful Keyword

Failing Example
    Strings Should Be Equal    Hello    Hello
    Strings Should Be Equal    not      equal

Run the remote server:

$ node example/examplelibrary.js

Then launch tests:

$ pybot example/remote_tests.txt

Using the client

The client is useful for testing keywords from the REPL:

> var lib = new require('./lib/botremote').Client({ host: 'localhost', port: 8270 })
> lib.stringsShouldBeEqual
{ [Function]
  args: [ 'str1', 'str2' ],
  docs: '' }
> lib.countItemsInDirectory
{ [Function]
  args: [ 'path' ],
  docs: 'Returns the number of items in the directory specified by `path`.' }
> lib.countItemsInDirectory(process.cwd(), function(e, v) { console.log(v) })
undefined
> { status: 'PASS',
  output: '',
  traceback: '',
  return: 14,
  error: '' }
> lib.stringsShouldBeEqual('bau', 'miao', function(e, v) { console.log(v) })
undefined
> { status: 'FAIL',
  output: '',
  traceback: 'AssertionError: Given strings are not equal\n    at Server.lib.stringsShouldBeEqual (/home/michele/sviluppo/node-robotremoteserver/example/examplelibrary.js:46:12)\n    at Server.runKeyword (/home/michele/sviluppo/node-robotremoteserver/lib/robotremote.js:112:26)\n    at Server.<anonymous> (/home/michele/sviluppo/node-robotremoteserver/lib/robotremote.js:43:21)\n    at Server.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:106:17)\n    at /home/michele/sviluppo/node-robotremoteserver/node_modules/xmlrpc/lib/server.js:42:14\n    at callback (/home/michele/sviluppo/node-robotremoteserver/node_modules/xmlrpc/lib/deserializer.js:65:7)\n    at Deserializer.onDone (/home/michele/sviluppo/node-robotremoteserver/node_modules/xmlrpc/lib/deserializer.js:92:12)\n    at SAXStream.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:92:17)\n    at Object.SAXStream._parser.onend (/home/michele/sviluppo/node-robotremoteserver/node_modules/xmlrpc/node_modules/sax/lib/sax.js:171:8)\n    at emit (/home/michele/sviluppo/node-robotremoteserver/node_modules/xmlrpc/node_modules/sax/lib/sax.js:325:33)',
