Copy List gives me TypeError

Libraries
1

Hi,

I’m trying to figure out one issue that i have with “Collections” library and their Copy List keyword,

I’m checking the type of variable by Evaluate and it says “list”

So i try to copy the list with Copy List Keyword but i got TypeError: Expected argument 1 to be a list or list-like, got string instead.

Any idea why it treats the one element list as string? Probably doing something wrong here :wink:

Hi,

Did not tried it right away, but you could test this (edit: tried and it works :wink: ):

${temp_agent_list}   Copy List   ${agents}

Then keep the FOR loop with @{temp_agent_list}.

I think the keyword might receive the list items as arguments (i.e. ‘agent1’, ‘agent2’…) then consider agent1 as string.

I often directly use this to copy:

VAR  ${list2}  ${list1}

Charlie
