Question about regular expressions in Robot Framework

[Kirill Zhukov]

I have two strings. The first one I am getting as output from console which could be Added File <file_path> or Updated File <file_path>. I am using this keyword which doesn't work:
Should Match Regexp  ${response}    Added|Updated File ${file_path}
where ${response} is output from console. I am getting "Updated File <file_path>" doesn't match "Added|Updated File <file_path>".

I am not sure how to use exactly reg exps in Robot Framework. Need some help :)

Thank you!

If you have an alternative with more than one characters, you need to surround the whole thing with parentheses. Try:

Should Match Regexp  ${response}    (Added|Updated) File ${file_path}

Thank you for response! I resolved the problem and that's quite stupid because in log I was getting "f" letter instead of "F" in "file" word :D

Ugh

RF regular expression are based on Python regular expressions. I usually use validator [1] to check my expressions.
