Convert Robot IDE to generic Robot tests

I am working with existing Robot IDE tests, which we would like to use with Jenkins and other tools to add continuous integration into the work flow. So far, I haven't found a way to use Robot IDE with Jenkins and other tools. Is it possible to convert tests built in the IDE to a more standard format that we can run in the console?

You don't have to convert anything. Just feed them to pybot/jybot/ipybot. RIDE is just an editor, it's nothing more. You don't need RIDE at all. How to run tests is thoroughly documented in the user guide.

You won't use RIDE with Jenkins. RIDE is just to create/run/update your tests with a GUI. What you have to do is to get familiar with the tests files on the file system, and launch Robot Framework via command line (with pybot). Once this works, create a Job in Jenkins with the same command line.

You could check a blog post I wrote couple of days ago on the same topic. Hope this helps.
