i am trying to add negative test cases for login api request , where request status code 409 and that is as expected and design at robot framework i have designed below code but during execution test case status fail and that is not correct . what i am need is away to make these test cases pass as long as status code 409 \*\*\* Settings \*\*\* Library RequestsLibrary Test Template Login \*\*\* Test Cases \*\*\* Username Password Login with invalid username should fail invalid ${VALID\_PASSWORD} Login with invalid password should fail ${VALID\_USER} invalid Login with invalid username and password should fail invalid invalid Login with empty username should fail ${EMPTY} ${VALID\_PASSWORD} Login with empty password should fail ${VALID\_USER} ${EMPTY} Login with empty username and password should fail ${EMPTY} ${EMPTY} \*\*\* Keywords \*\*\* Login [Arguments] ${USERNAME} ${PASSWORD} ${data}= Evaluate {‘Username’: (None, ‘${USERNAME}’), ‘Password’: (None, ‘${PASSWORD}’)} ${response}= POST ${Server\_url}${Login} files=${data} # Log To Console ${response.content} ##### assertions Should Be Equal As Strings ${response.status\_code} 409 ${json\_dict}= Evaluate json.loads(‘’‘${response.content}’‘’) modules=json Should not Be Equal As Strings None ${json\_dict[‘errorCode’]} Should not Be Equal As Strings None ${json\_dict[‘errorMessage’]} Should not Be Equal As Strings Authentication failed ${json\_dict[‘errorMessage’]} Should Be Equal As Strings failed ${json\_dict[‘status’]} Should Be Equal As Strings None ${json\_dict[‘data’]} ---

Hi Khalid, In the documentation for [POST](https://marketsquare.github.io/robotframework-requests/doc/RequestsLibrary.html#POST), you’ll see `expected_status` perhaps this is what you’re after? There’s more detail about `expected_status` in the documentation for [Status Should Be](https://marketsquare.github.io/robotframework-requests/doc/RequestsLibrary.html#Status%20Should%20Be) Pay particular attention to this paragraph: > New requests keywords like [GET](https://marketsquare.github.io/robotframework-requests/doc/RequestsLibrary.html#GET) or [GET On Session](https://marketsquare.github.io/robotframework-requests/doc/RequestsLibrary.html#GET%20On%20Session) (starting from 0.8 version) already have an implicit assert mechanism that, by default, verifies the response status code. [Status Should Be](https://marketsquare.github.io/robotframework-requests/doc/RequestsLibrary.html#Status%20Should%20Be) keyword can be useful when you disable implicit assert using `expected_status=anything`. It caught me out at first when version 0.8 came out. Dave.
