I have below application under test.

I am using Selenium2Library-Python-RobotFramework.  
Below is my code where I am fetching the expected price with the help of xpath. For original price I have already set the variables in variable.robot.

```
    ${ExpectedPriceProductAPrice} = Get Text xpath=//span[@id='Price']
    sleep 2
    Log To Console Price is ${ExpectedPriceProductAPrice}
    ${ExpectedPriceProductACount} = Get Text xpath=//span[@id='Count']
    sleep 2
    Log To Console Count is ${ExpectedPriceProductACount}

    should be equal ${ExpectedPriceProductAPrice} ${OriginalPriceProductAPrice}
    should be equal ${ExpectedPriceProductACount} ${OriginalPriceProductACount}
    should be equal ${ExpectedPriceProductBPrice} ${OriginalPriceProductBPrice}
    should be equal ${ExpectedPriceProductBCount} ${OriginalPriceProductBCount}

```

I am facing two issues :

1. Values are not getting log to console.
2. If _ **should be equal** _ is failed for first statement then it is not moving ahead to check all other _ **should be equal** _ conditions

**Should** keywords are strict conditions, they will stop test execution and mark the test failed, as soon it fails.

For you case, you _should_ collect each assertion and only fail in the end (or just report the results).  
You can use at least three different techniques:

- `${result_1}= Set Variable ${ExpectedPriceProductAPrice} == ${OriginalPriceProductAPrice}`
- `${var_2} ${result_2}= Run Keyword and Ignore Error Should Be Equal ${ExpectedPriceProductACount} ${OriginalPriceProductACount}`
- 

```python
     IF ${ExpectedPriceProductBPrice} == ${OriginalPriceProductBPrice}
         ${result}= Set Variable ${True}
     END # just an example, in this case is better Set Variable If

```

You can create a list or dictionary and append results to it. You could use a loop, and variables with a dynamic name…
