How to pass a variable from one testcase to another

Robot Framework
1

Hi community!
I am trying to pass a variable from testcase 1 to testcase 2 using set global variable
but it is not working
this is how I do it
in test case one,I fetch my first variable which is my sales orde id
${orderID} Get Text //div[@name=‘TabHeaderGeneral_SalesTable_SalesId’]
that works fine!
Then I pass this variable to my Global variable using
${Global} Set Global Variable ${orderID}
so I have now created a global variable with the value ${orderID}

in test case 2
I am trying to call ${Global} and it is not working

Input Text (any xapth) ${Global}
error says ${Global} not found

Set Global Variable works differently. Syntax is the following:

Set Global Variable    name    value

So in your case it should be:

Set Global Variable    ${ORDER_ID}    ${orderID}

and later

Input Text    xpath=...    ${ORDER_ID}

Side-note: You should think twice before making one tests dependent on another.

I found out ,what my mistake was
I was running every test case seperately instead of running the suite

Thanks very much for your help and support
