Using Pass Execution If to run certain test cases

[N.T.]

To give an explanation I run automated scripts for different sites with different languages but ideally have the same behavior.

So instead of making different test cases for different sites I use the same test case and import a different variable file that has different values depending on the country.

However there are some instances where one country site is different from the other. An example is that only our Japan has a requirement when you create a user you not only need to give your first name and last name but you need to give your phonetic first name and last name.

Instead of making a separate testsuite for that I was wondering if I could reuse the ones I used for the non-Japanese site and then make extra test cases that only run for Japan.

So it looks like this:

    Enter Phonetic First Name    ${registration_phonetic_firstname}
    Register
    Registration Error Message should appear    id=register.phoneticLastName

So currently the country is set to "AU" so ideally it should fail. But this is what I get in the logs:

Evaluating expression ''AOP' !== 'AJP'' failed: SyntaxError: invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)

Am I doing something wrong? should I be using a different keyword? I just want to prevent myself for rewriting stuff that does the same thing.

You are using JavaScript syntax ;) 

You should use != like in:

Pass Execution if    '${COUNTRY}' != 'JP'    This is not an JP test

Having that step in the [Setup] won't avoid running the test. Better try to have as the first test step.

This is a case where a SKIP option oder keyword (which we do not have in Robot Framework, yet ) would come in handy ;-)))

May be alternatively one could tag this test cases with e.g. 'JP' or 'AJP' and use '--exclude' cli option when running the non-JP test cases?

Oh my God it worked!

And so stupid I didn't even realize the typo until now. I fixed that and moved it as a first step instead of putting it as a test setup as you said.

Thank you so much for your help!
