Hi everyone,

I have a question. I'm using robot framework for automated testing and I'm stuck.

For my automated test i want to fill an XML request with a couple of variables.

Adding the variables in te XML string goes well, but Robot Framework automatically deletes the double quotes in the XML string.

Because of Robot Framework automatically deleting the double quotes the XML string gets filled in my form without the double quotes which causes an error in the webview I'm using.

Is there any way to let Robot Framework use a String variable with multple double quotes inside the string without deleting them?

I already tried things like putting the double quotes between 2 double quotes ("""). tried using backslash before the double quote(/") but nothing seems to work.

Hi,

I see you are using RIDE. Can you please try Ctrl-Shift-J to edit that XML cell? (this is to test if the spaces still remain escaped, don't save the file is it gets broken)

I think you should replace " by "

Hi Jirayu,

I'm using RIDE as editor. The tests are running on windows 10 Chrome browser.
