Compare two same value in robot framework

Robot Framework
1

hi i am new in robot framework
I want to compare two number so
first I have fetch two value from from UI after that i want compare both the value so

    ${count1}=  Set Variable  ${xyz}
    ${count2}=  Set Variable  ${abc}
    ${Count3}=    Set Variable    ${$count1}+${count2}}             # o/p=("1234")
    ${count4} =  Replace String  ${count3}  ${EMPTY}  ${EMPTY}  
    ${count5} =  Convert to string  ${count4}
     ${count6}=  Get Text  ${loc_count}                             # o/p=  data  (1234)
     ${Count7} =  Remove String  ${login}  data
     ${Count8} =  Convert to string  ${count7}
     Log To Console    ${count7}
     Should Be Equal   ${count5}  ${count8}

so in console I have get (1234) != (1234)
I dont know why these happen
instead of that I have also try for convert to string i have convert to number but that time
it showed 1234 can not convert into floating point number :value error could nt convert string to float
code
if i try to convert the string to number
${count3} = Convert To Number ${_count2}

I have really a hard time to understand what you try to achieve there.

What is ${xyz} and ${abc}

That is invalid syntax.
Do you want to add two numbers? Or concatenate a string?

Adding numbers would be:

${result}    Evaluate    ${num1} + ${num2}

Concatenating strings is just:

${full}   Set Variable     ${str1}${str2}
4

This does also not really anything.
You replace nothing with nothing.

You also use the variable ${login} that never appeared before.

There are so many unclear things, that it is hard to help.

Hi Pratik,

Have you tried Should Be Equal As Numbers or Should Be Equal As Integers?

Should Be Equal will treat them as different if one is a string and one is a number, or even if one is a float and one is an integer Should Be Equal As <type> will cast both to the same type before comparing them.

It should also have a message telling you why they are not equal.

Dave.

thanks

code is like that

  ${ABC}  Get Text  ${locator_Ac}     o/p=1234
  ${DEF}  Get Text  ${locator_Bc}    0/p  2356
  ${count}    Evaluate    ${ABC} + ${DEf}            # o/p=("3590")
  ${count1}=  Get Text  ${loc_count}                          # o/p=  data  (3590)    
  ${Count2} =  Remove String  ${count1}  data
  Log To Console    ${count7}
  Should Be Equal   ${count1}  ${count2}

so in console I have get (3590) != (3590)
I dont know why these happen
i have check data type both variable is int
so i have also check with should be equal as integer and should be equal as number buy it showed 3590 can not convert into floating point number :value error could nt convert string to float

Hi Pratik,

Can you show us the actual error message? Without it we are all just guessing as to what your actual problem is.

It is still no valid robot code you posted there.
And you compare ${count1} with ${count2}
One is “data (3590)” the other one is “(3590)”

Not sure if you also have confusion in your variable names in your real code.

The other thing is that ${code} is an integer. so you should compare both values as number.
i would strongly recommend to use more spelling names for variables.

See this running example:
Second test is a bit shorter, because it replaces all “non digits” (\D) from the string.

Thanks
code is like that
${AC} Get Text ${loc_abc} 2064
${BC} Get Text ${loc_cde} 3625
${count} Evaluate ${AC} + ${BC} output 5689
${count1}= Set Variable (${count}) output (5689)
${CD}= Get Text ${loc_count} output= login (5689)
${count2} = Remove String ${CD} login
${count3} = Remove String ${count2}
Should Be Equal As Numbers ${count1} ${count3}

  output is like (5689)' cannot be converted to a floating point number: ValueError: could not convert string to float: '(5689)'

Hi Pratik,

Sorry I didn’t realise the two items you were trying to compare had the brackets ( and ) in them, in this case you should use Should Be Equal As Strings

A couple of other things:

  • when you start a line with a variable in a test or a keyword you should follow it with an =, e.g. ${AC} becomes ${AC}=
  • the line ${count3}= Remove String ${count2}, what are you removing? Perhaps you meant to use ${count3}= Remove String ${count2} ${SPACE}

Putting it all together it would look something like this:

${AC}=    Get Text    ${loc_abc}    2064
${BC}=    Get Text    ${loc_cde}    3625
${count}=    Evaluate    ${AC} + ${BC}    # output 5689
${count1}=    Set Variable    (${count})    # output (5689)
${CD}=    Get Text    ${loc_count}    # output= login (5689)
${count2}=    Remove String    ${CD}    login
${count3}=    Remove String    ${count2}    ${SPACE}
Should Be Equal As Strings    ${count1}    ${count3}

Dave.
