Embedded Keyword : what is the way of use?

Robot Framework
1

Hello,

I would like to use arguments to create my test but I ask myself about the embedded keyword.

Here is my test with arguments “unembedded” :

*** Keywords ***
the partner is authenticated
   [Arguments]  ${partner}  ${mdp}
   Input Text  id=username  ${partner}
   Input Password id=mdp  ${mdp}

*** Tests Cases ***
Authentication
   When the partner is authenticated  PartnerName   Partner Mdp

…

And I would like to use embedded keyword. How can I do ?

The username/mdp sould appeared clearly on the rapport ? Should I declare the variables on the “Variables” section ?

Thanks a lot !

No, need for that.

Here is my suggestion, untested:

*** Keywords ***
the partner, ${partner} is authenticated with password, ${mdp}
   Input Text  id=username  ${partner}
   Input Password id=mdp  ${mdp}

    *** Tests Cases ***
    Authentication
       When the partner, PartnerName is authenticated with password "Partner Mdp"

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.
Indeed, it works ! I didn’t know that I could put directly the argument’s value on the Keyword instead of as a argument of the keyword.

Thanks ! I’m going to continue to check this :slight_smile:
