My intend is to skip the ${num2} and ${num4} arguments.
But I got an error saying:
Positional argument cannot be used after named arguments
I don't know why it considers the list as a positional argument, shouldn't it be a variable one?
*** Test Cases ***
Test
#{daysOff}= Create List Tuesday Friday
Keyword 30 num3=6 #{daysOff}
*** Keywords ***
Keyword
[Arguments] ${num1} ${num2}=5 ${num3}=10 ${num4}=15 #{list}
Log ${num1}
Log ${num2}
Log ${num3}
Log ${num4}
FOR ${item} IN #{list}
Log ${item}
END
To resolve the
Positional argument cannot be used after named arguments
error you should move the list argument before the named, positional arguments.
Note that you cannot move it before ${num1} as that would give another error:
Keyword 'Keyword' missing named-only argument 'num1'.
All in all:
*** Test Cases ***
Test
#{daysOff}= Create List Tuesday Friday
Keyword 30 #{daysOff} num3=6
*** Keywords ***
Keyword
[Arguments] ${num1} #{list} ${num2}=5 ${num3}=10 ${num4}=15
Log ${num1}
Log ${num2}
Log ${num3}
Log ${num4}
FOR ${item} IN #{list}
Log ${item}

i want to log a list in robot frame work
i tried LOG #{listname} but it throws an error
to acccess the list element i use LOG #{listname}[0] it also throws an error
LOG #{listname} -- print list to log
LOG #{listname}[0] -- print the first element to log
Reference: https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/libraries/Collections.html#Log%20List
There is Log List to log all the values in List. Please see the below example
*** Settings ***

*** Variables ***
#{NUMBERS} ${1} ${2} ${5}
#{NAMES} one two five
*** Test Cases ***
Logs Lists
Log List ${NUMBERS}
Log Scalar Variable
Log ${NUMBERS}[0]
I have written a keyword which calls a sub-keyword. Now the sub keyword is returning two values which I am trying to store it in an array assigned to main keyword. When I log to console the returned values, it gives an error message saying - Expected list-like value, got string
I have tried the below workarounds(failed):
1. Attempt1:
#{Items1} Run keyword if '${INACTIVEStateCount}'!='0' INACTIVE OTOID selector ${StateCount}
Log To console Values are ${Items1}
2. Attempt2:
#{Items1} Run keyword if '${INACTIVEStateCount}'!='0' INACTIVE OTOID selector ${StateCount}
${Items2} Create List #{Items1}
Log To console Values are ${Items2}
Main keyword:
#{Items1} Run keyword if '${INACTIVEStateCount}'!='0' INACTIVE OTOID selector ${StateCount}
${Items2} Create List #{Items1}
Log To console Values are ${Items2}
SubKeyword:
INACTIVE OTOID selector
[Documentation] Used to select Inactive OTOIDs
[Arguments] ${StateCount} ${LocatorWaitTime}=${defaultWait time}
:FOR ${INDEX} IN RANGE 1 ${StateCount}
\ ${Check}= Run keyword and return status Page should contain element xpath=//*#id='lookupFiberDetailsResult']/table/tbody/tr[${INDEX}]/td[4][text()='INACTIVE']
\ ${OTO_IDStatus} Run keyword if '${Check}'=='True' Get Text xpath=//*[#id='lookupFiberDetailsResult']/table/tbody/tr[${INDEX}]/td[4][text()='INACTIVE']
\ Log to Console Loop${INDEX} - OTOID:${OTO_IDStatus}
\ ${OTO_ID} Run keyword if '${OTO_IDStatus}'!='None' Get Text xpath=//*[#id='lookupFiberDetailsResult']/table/tbody/tr[${INDEX}]/td[2]
\ ${LineIdentifier} Run keyword if '${OTO_IDStatus}'!='None' Get Text xpath=//*[#id='lookupFiberDetailsResult']/table/tbody/tr[${INDEX}]/td[1]
\ Run keyword if '${OTO_IDStatus}'!='None' Log to Console OTOID is: ${OTO_ID}
\ Run keyword if '${OTO_IDStatus}'!='None' Log to Console OTOID is: ${LineIdentifier}
\ Run Keyword If '${OTO_IDStatus}'!='None' [Return] ${OTO_ID}
\ Run Keyword If '${OTO_IDStatus}'!='None' [Return] ${LineIdentifier}
\ Exit For Loop if '${OTO_IDStatus}'!='None'
What I intend to achieve:
I am making the sub-keyword return two values: OTOID and LineIdentifier and store it in an array. And then use these two values separately for further use.
Actual:
When I log to console the values stored in array then I get an error saying:
Expected list-like value, got string
The issue is that you are trying to store the return values from the sub keyword as an array/list but returning strings from it.
*** Keywords ***
Main keyword
${OTO_ID} ${LineIdentifier} Run keyword if '${INACTIVEStateCount}'!='0' INACTIVE OTOID selector ${StateCount}
INACTIVE OTOID selector
Return From Keyword If '${OTO_IDStatus}'!='None' ${OTO_ID} ${LineIdentifier}
This will return the values ${OTO_ID} and ${LineIdentifier} as individual variables and not arrays.
Please note that I've ignored the other steps in the sub keyword just to make the answer simpler.
The line(s) that needs to be replaced:
Run Keyword If '${OTO_IDStatus}'!='None' [Return] ${OTO_ID}
Run Keyword If '${OTO_IDStatus}'!='None' [Return] ${LineIdentifier}
Update:
If you want to strictly return the values as list, use below code
*** Keywords ***
Main keyword
${Identifiers} Run keyword if '${INACTIVEStateCount}'!='0' INACTIVE OTOID selector ${StateCount}
INACTIVE OTOID selector
${Identifiers} Create List
.
<Your FOR loop here>
.
\ Run Keyword If '${OTO_IDStatus}'!='None' Append to List ${identifiers} ${OTO_ID} ${LineIdentifier}
Exit For Loop If '${OTO_IDStatus}'!='None'
Return From Keyword If '${OTO_IDStatus}'!='None' ${Identifiers}

I have a problem with RobotFramework code. Im trying to make an If/ELSE and testing some functionalities but when I declare the Keyword I get the error:
"Keyword 'SeleniumLibrary.Input Text' expected 2 arguments, got 10."
I tried changing the variables of the Keywords but nothing.
*** Settings ***

*** Variables ***
${WEB} https://google.es #Url we are going to open

Input Text ${textview} ${text} if ${SELENIUM_DELAY} != 0
... ELSE Input Text ${textview} ${text2}
I just tried to make a condition that if the value of ${SELENIUM_DELAY} is different from 0, then write on google search a String.
The syntax for conditional execution is different, you have to use the keyword Run Keyword If, providing the keywords to run when the condition is true/false (the false is optional). Like this:
Run Keyword If ${SELENIUM_DELAY} != 0 Input Text ${textview} ${text}
... ELSE Input Text ${textview} ${text2}
Hi does anybody know why I cannot reference suite variable defined in TC1 and then referencing it TC2 within one suite I am getting error : Variable not found
Running both tests is ok, but runnig tc1 and then tc2 will produce this error
Python 2.7.13
Ride: 1.7.3.1
Thanx a lot
TC1
TC2
Try next simple code and say if it works, main point here is where you define suite variable by Set Suite Variable, it should be in the first test case or in the one of the setups(Test/Suite Setup):
*** Settings ***
Library Collections
*** Test Cases ***
TestCase1
Log to Console ${EMPTY}
Set Suite Variable ${suite_variable} case1
Log To Console I'm in case 1: ${suite_variable}
TestCase2
Log to Console ${EMPTY}
${variables} Get Variables
Dictionary Should Contain Key ${variables} \${suite_variable}
Log To Console I'm in case 2: ${suite_variable}
following code is producing some problem:
API Setup
[Arguments] ${url} ${username} ${password} ${run}=True ${fail}=False
Run Keyword If ${run}
... Run Keywords
... ${passed}= Run Keyword And Return Status Setup ${url} ${username} ${password}
... AND Log To Console ${passed}
... AND Should Not Be Equal ${fail} ${passed}
When I try to execute that, my RF says: Variable '${passed}' not found.
The RED IDE also says
Multiple markers at this line:
• Variable 'passed' is used, but not defined
• Keyword name '${passed}=' contains variables. RED is unable to validate
arguments given to this keyword
Does the keywords "Run Keywords" not allow any assignments of values to variables and if so, is there any "best practice" way to do what I want to do?
Thanks!
The Run Keywords does not allow assignments, that's true. This comes from the parser - the purpose of the keyword is to run other ones; it comes to the line with the assignment (${passed}= Run...), tries to substitute the variable "passed" with its value so it can execute it, but at this point the var is still undefined - and it fails.
It looks like what you want to do is to run a particular keyword (Setup) only if a condition is true, and only if the condition is true then log its outcome, and assert it (the outcome) is the desired one.
This can be achieved by breaking up the block in two. The keyword Run Keyword If returns the value of the embedded keyword, so this will work:
${passed}= Run Keyword If ${run} Run Keyword And Return Status Setup ${url} ${username} ${password}
... ELSE Set Variable ${False}
If ${run} == True the Setup keyword will be ran, and {passed} will hold a True/False value did the execution pass. If ${run} != True we're setting ${passed} to False, just so it doesn't have a value of None (its value is not really important in this case, but doing that gives consistency in the datatypes it has).
And now the other two keywords can be in an if-block by themselves - do their work only when ${run} == True:
Run Keyword If ${run} Run Keywords Log To Console ${passed}
... AND Should Not Be Equal ${fail} ${passed}
It is true that Run Keywords does not allow variable assignment within
Make a keyword that contains everything inside Run Keywords and just call it instead.
For example
*** Test Cases ***
API Setup
[Arguments] ${url} ${username} ${password} ${run}=True ${fail}=False
Run Keyword If ${run} Keyword A
*** Keywords ***
Keyword A
