unknown keyword: robot when using karate-core:2.0.5 with karate-robot:1.5.2

[e-dsouza]

Description

The robot keyword is not recognized by the Karate engine when using the latest 2.0.5 core dependencies alongside the 1.5.2 robot dependency. This results in an unknown keyword: robot error during test execution.

Steps to Reproduce

1.Create a project with the following Maven/Gradle dependencies:
​io.karatelabs:karate-core:2.0.5
​io.karatelabs:karate-robot:1.5.2

2.Attempt to run a feature file containing:

• robot { window: 'Calculator', fork: 'calc', highlight: true, highlightDuration: 500 }

3.Observe the error: unknown keyword: robot

Expected Behavior

The karate-robot library (v1.5.2) expected to be compatible with or registered by the karate-core (v2.0.5) engine, allowing for native UI automation keywords to be recognized.
