Import resource with alias

Robot Framework
1

It seems that it is possible to ‘import’ libraries with an alias, as demonstrated here.

I’d like to be able to do the same with ‘importing’ resource files so I can use the alias instead of the name of the resource file if I’d like to use the ‘full path’.

So, instead of…
*** Settings ***
Resource ${CURDIR}/../resources/database.robot

*** Testcases ***
Test Something
database.Call Keyword

I’d like to be able to…

*** Settings ***
Resource ${CURDIR}/../resources/database.robot WITH NAME DB

*** Testcases ***
Test Something
DB.Call Keyword

It would be very helpful if such a feature would exist.

I can see the sense behind that and that might not even be a breaking change. However, i dont think @pekkaklarck picks up feature requests from here, so i’d suggest a to file an issue to GitHub · Where software is built
