I trying to debug a Robot Framework test on my Plone add-on package by using the following as I found in the documentation:
*** Settings ***
Resource plone/app/robotframework/keywords.robot
*** Test Cases ***
Pause tests with included Pause-keyword
Pause
When the test is run the following error is shown:
Failure in test Test Locking Behavior (test_locking_behavior.robot)
Traceback (most recent call last):

I already have Tkinter installed in my system:
# sudo apt-get install python-tk
Lendo listas de pacotes... Pronto
Construindo árvore de dependências
Lendo informação de estado... Pronto
python-tk já é a versão mais nova.
python-tk configurado para instalar manualmente.
Os seguintes pacotes foram automaticamente instalados e não são mais necessários:
linux-headers-3.13.0-39 linux-headers-3.13.0-39-generic
linux-image-3.13.0-39-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-39-generic
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
0 pacotes atualizados, 0 pacotes novos instalados, 0 a serem removidos e 13 não atualizados.
How can I fix this?
I had to install the tk-dev package (in my case by using sudo apt-get install tk-dev) and recompile the Python I was using on my virtualenv.
