CMK version: 2.2.0p14

I realized I started to hijack another thread, so I created this one. I have a working tasks.robot suite on my Windows desktop in VSCode. When trying to port the suite over to CheckMK I’m running into issues.
The first issue was missing python modules. I found the list in the agent output when I did a Connection Test in the CMK UI. Are these requirements documented somewhere and I missed them? Once I installed the requested modules the second issue came to light.
Here is the test suite that works in VSCode but not RobotMK:

This is a proof of concept for a client wanting to use RobotMK to monitor their SAML-enabled web application.
As suggested by Simon in the other thread, here are the outputs of robotmk-runner.py and robotmk.py

With things currently as they are, the CheckMK Discovery service for this client machine crashes. Before installing the suite, it was working fine. Here is the traceback:

I now see that the Discovery Service crash is a bit of a mislead. The real issue was discovered after exfiltrating the HTML output file. The import I’m using is apparently wrong: Importing library 'RPA.Browser.Selenium' failed: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'RPA'
Trying to install the robotframework-browser library isn’t going well either. I can’t install nodejs currently since I don’t use snaps. I will look at this and try to rember to come back here to document for my future self as well as others.
