How to create condition for test result ==passed

Robot Framework

How do I do this?
if test 1 passed run test 2
or if keyword 1 passed run keyword 2

Hi,

There are probably multiple solutions, but the keyword idea is a good one. Something like this.

*** Tests Cases ***
TEST1
    ${TEST1_STATUS}    Run Keyword And Return Status    TEST1 CASE

TEST2
    IF    '${TEST1_STATUS}' ==  'PASS'
        ${TEST2_STATUS}    Run Keyword And Return Status    TEST2 CASE
    END


*** Keywords ***
    TEST1 CASE
        _steps_

    TEST2 CASE
        _steps_

Important thing is to have ${TEST1_STATUS} as a suite variable reachable from TEST2, but you could also use in TEST2 the built-in ${PREV_TEST_STATUS} if tests are sequential.
Also you could use Skip If ${TEST1_STATUS} != PASS directly, or FAIL in a if then else statement.

Regards.

Hi Charlie,

When doing things like it’s important to pay attention to variable scopes, pretty sure ${TEST1_STATUS} is in Local scope, or maybe Test case scope as it was at the top level of the test case, so it won’t have a value in TEST2

Yes, I mentioned this below the code :wink:

Btw I’m still wondering what’s the best way to redefine scope of a variable during a test or in a keyword, other that setting it this way:

 VAR    ${MYVAR}    ${MYVAR} scope=SUITE

For conditionally executing test cases you might be interested in robotframework-dependencylibrary.

There are also some automatic variables that could be useful, such as ${PREV TEST STATUS}
