Is there a way to implement 'Wait Until Keyword Returns True'

[Nikolay Ivanets]

I'm looking for a keyword similar to 'Wait Until Keyword Succeeds' which will continue execution of the given keyword until it returns True.

It should looks something like:

Wait Until Keyword Returns True | 10 sec | 1 sec | KeywordReturnsBoolean | args

Test WUKRT

    Wait Until Keyword Returns True    10s    2s    False Once    arg1    arg2

*** Keywords ***

Wait Until Keyword Returns True

    [Arguments]    ${timeout}    ${retry_interval}    ${name}    @{args}

    Wait Until Keyword Succeeds    ${timeout}    ${retry_interval}    Keyword Should Return True    ${name}    @{args}

Keyword Should Return True

    [Arguments]    ${name}    @{args}

    ${ret_val}=    Run Keyword    ${name}    @{args}

    Should Be Equal    ${ret_val}    ${True}

False Once

    [Arguments]    @{args}

    Log    ${args}

    ${called_already}=    Get Variable Value    ${FALSE_ONCE}    ${False}

    Set Global Variable    ${FALSE_ONCE}    ${True}

    [Return]    ${called_already}

I feel like I'm learning a new scripting language and great examples like this really help.  Thanks Kevin!!

It's taking a little bit of time to change the thinking because I keep looking for things like If-Then-Else, Case statements, etc.  And also asking myself questions like, "should I just write this in Python and create a new Keyword or is there a better way using the standard Keyword Libraries?".
