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.  
Charlie

Hi Charlie,

When doing things like it’s important to pay attention to [variable scopes](https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#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 😉

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](https://forum.robotframework.org/t/unable-to-import-robotframework-appiumlibrary-even-after-successful-installation-in-pycharm/6990).

There are also some [automatic variables](https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#automatic-variables) that could be useful, such as ${PREV TEST STATUS}
