Robot Framework what is wrong with my indentation? - formatting

I read that you can use a pipe-separated format for Robot Framework tests, but in my code:
*** Settings ***
| Documentation | A test suite with a single test for valid login.
| Library | Selenium2Library
| Resource | AdminResource.txt
*** Variables ***
| ${LOGIN URL} | http://local.econnect-admin.com/
| ${BROWSER} | ff
| ${Login button} | xpath=//body/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/form/fieldset/div[3]/button
*** Test Cases ***
| Valid Login
|| Open Browser To Login Page
|| Input Text | a11y-username | username
|| Input Text | a11y-password | password
|| Click Log in
|| Welcome Page Should Be Open
*** Keywords ***
| Open Browser To Login Page
|| Open Browser | ${LOGIN URL} | ${BROWSER}
|| Maximize Browser Window
|| Wait Until Page Contains Element | ${Login button} | 5s
| Click Log in
|| Click Element | ${Login button}
| Welcome Page Should Be Open
|| Location Should Be | ${LOGIN URL}
|| Wait Until Page Contains | Accounts | 5s
|| Page Should Contain | Accounts
When ran the code gives a variety of errors:
[ ERROR ] Error in file 'C:\Python\AdminTests\test.txt': Setting variable '|${LOGIN URL} | http://local.econnect-admin.com/' failed: Invalid variable name '|${LOGIN URL} | http://local.econnect-admin.com/'.
[ ERROR ] Error in file 'C:\Python\AdminTests\test.txt': Setting variable '|${BROWSER} | ff' failed: Invalid variable name '|${BROWSER} | ff'.
[ ERROR ] Error in file 'C:\Python\AdminTests\test.txt': Setting variable '|${Login button} | xpath=//body/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/form/fieldset/div[3]/button' failed: Invalid variable name '|${Login button} | xpath=//body/div[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div/form/fieldset/div[3]/button'.
It also tells me that each line of my test cases (including the name of the test case) contain to keywords.
Have I wrongly formatted my test scripts, or am I misinformed about pipe-separated formatting?
Edit - In another question the answer was given using this format
Thanks in advance.

You must have spaces between pipes. Consider this line:
|| Open Browser | ${LOGIN URL} | ${BROWSER}
you need to change it to this:
| | Open Browser | ${LOGIN URL} | ${BROWSER}
From the user guide:
Pipe and space separated lines are recognized by the mandatory leading
pipe, but the pipe at the end of the line is optional. There must
always be at least one space on both sides of the pipe (except at the
beginning and end) but there is no need to align the pipes other than
if it makes the data more clear.

How can I pass | (pipe) symbol in scenario outline examples

I want to enter a string containing | in a textbox using scenario outline and examples in selenium-cucumber feature file.
Examples
Scenario Outline: test1
> Given user is on home page
>
> When user enters "<login id>" and "<password>" and clicks on submit
> button
>
> Then user is able to login successfully
>
> Examples:
>
> |login id | password |
>
> | user100 | test|11 |
So here I want to send test|11 as password
But when I do so I get compile error in feature file.
Any suggestions please?
If you need a | as part of the cell, you can escape it as \|.

verifyAlertNotPresent() in selenium ide halts the execution on failure

I have written a script to Verify that alert is not present using verifyAlertNotPresent command. Using this command as I know execution should not stop even if alert is present and should continue but it halts the execution. My script is given below.
forXml | file:///E:/XML files/NAA_StateZip.xml
open |
clickAndWait | link=NAA Click & Lease
type | name=_OWNER | sdfsdf
type | name=OWNERFAX | 1234556
fireEvent | name=OWNERFAX | blur
verifyAlertNotPresent | Error: Invalid input format Please re-enter area code and phone number |
close
selectWindow | null
endForXml
When I am running this script Log shows this.
[info] Executing: |type | name=OWNERFAX | 1234556 |
[info] Executing: |fireEvent | name=OWNERFAX | blur |
[info] Executing: |verifyAlertNotPresent | Error: Invalid input format Please re-enter area code and phone number | |
[error] true
[info] Executing: |close | | |
[error] There was an unexpected Alert! [Error: Invalid input format Please re-enter area code and phone number]
[info] Test case fail
Please provide solution to this as I want to run this script for set of data.
To handle alerts using Selenium IDE, you will have to use 'assertFoo(pattern)' function. If you fail to assert the presence of a pop-up your next command will be blocked and you will get an error. Look at the Docs.

Running RobotFramework Tests on Sauce Labs - error with timing out

I have existing selenium tests written in Robot IDE Framework that I'm trying to run in Sauce Labs.
I'm using the sample test from this tutorial to see if I can get at least one test running. http://datakurre.pandala.org/2014/03/cross-browser-selenium-testing-with.html
The test passes locally, and passes all the tests on Sauce Labs, but then times out and gives and error, "Test did not see a new command for 90 seconds. Timing out.
error" because it's not disconnecting Remote Web Driver.
I've tried all of these, together and separately at the end of the "Close test browser" function:
Close all browsers
Process close
Stop selenium server
I've also tried adding ((RemoteWebDriver) getCurrentWebDriver()).quit() in one of the python functions that runs during the closing process. I'm new to Selenium and Robot Framework, so I'm not sure how to grab the Remote Web Driver.
Here is the code, in case that helps:
*** Settings ***
Test Setup Open test browser
Test Teardown Close test browser
Resource ../../Keywords/super.txt
Library Selenium2Library
Library ../../Library/SauceLabs.py
*** Variables ***
${LOGIN_FAIL_MSG} Incorrect username or password.
${COMMAND_EXECUTOR} http://username:key#ondemand.saucelabs.com:80/wd/hub
${REMOTE_URL} http://username:key#ondemand.saucelabs.com:80/wd/hub
${DESIRED_CAPABILITIES} username:name,access-key:key,name:Testing RobotFramework,platform:Windows 8.1,version:26,browserName:CHROME,javascriptEnabled:True
*** Test Cases ***
Incorrect username or password
[Tags] Login
Go to https://saucelabs.com/login
Page should contain element id=username
Page should contain element id=password
Input text id=username anonymous
Input text id=password secret
Click button id=submit
Page should contain ${LOGIN_FAIL_MSG}
[Teardown]
*** Keywords ***
Open test browser
Open browser http://www.google.com ${BROWSER} \ remote_url=${REMOTE_URL} desired_capabilities=${DESIRED_CAPABILITIES}
Close test browser
Run keyword if '${REMOTE_URL}' != '' Report Sauce status ${SUITE_NAME} | ${TEST_NAME} ${TEST_STATUS} ${TEST_TAGS} ${REMOTE_URL}
Close all browsers
Process close
Stop selenium server
You shouldn't need to do anything special to close down the connection. My guess is, there's something in your test that is preventing the browser from being closed. My recommendation is to start with a simpler example, and start from the command line. Get that working, and then work your way up to being able to run something more complex from within RIDE.
Here is a working example where I removed all of the extra stuff in the test. I am able to run this both from the command line and via RIDE on Windows. You'll have to add in your own key, however:
*** Settings ***
| Library | Selenium2Library
*** Variables ***
| #{_tmp}
| ... | name:Testing RobotFramework Selenium2Library,
| ... | browserName:internet explorer,
| ... | platform:Windows 8,

"-" character is converted to ? in console for gherkin language used in cucumber feature file

I am using cucumber feature file to execute or write my test cases. Issue is that I am using data table as :
| abc | 1234567890 |
| defg | New Activation – Monthly (Credit in store) |
Now issue is this that console is throwing an error that :
Cannot locate element with text: New Activation ? Monthly (Credit in store).
I am not able to understand why ? is being displayed instead of "–" .

assertText a message that has line break in Selenium IDE

I am new in Selenium IDE and need to assertText a value that has line break. Example:
Actual Message to assertText:
Hello
World
store | Hello <br/> World | txtValue
assertText | id=label | ${txtValue}
Please help.
Pass your id=label into a variable, remove the line breaks, then run an assertion against the variable.
Store expected text:
store | Hello World | txtValue
Store page text:
storeText | xpath=(//*[#id=label]) | labelValue
Remove line breaks from page text:
echo | javascript{storedVars.labelValue = storedVars.labelValue.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm,"")} |
Assert your expected text = your page text:
assertExpression | javascript{storedVars.txtValue==storedVars.labelValue} | true
Following pattern matching worked for me on Selenium IDE 2.5.0
regexp:Hello\s+World
