How to compare print output from python script (.py) in Robot framework

[Swati Rauniyar]

Hi All

I have written a python script for test automation. This script runs on Linux terminal. If test passed, it prints a string. I want to compare that string after running the python script from robot framework.

My python prints: "PASSED: Password updated" on successful completion. 

In Robot framework, I have written:

*** Test Cases ***

Update_Password

   ${result}=    Run   Process    python   //root//1_Update_Password.py

   Should Be Equal   ${result.stdout}  PASSED: Password updated

It is failing with message: != PASSED: Password updated

                                              ${result} = <result object with rc 1>

Thanks & Regards

I would add the following after you run the process which should help you figure out what's going on:

Log To Console  rc:${result.rc}

Log To Console  out:${result.stdout}

Log To Console  err:${result.stderr}

I'm sure if you do that you will find the issue.  It appears your command is failing for some reason based on the rc 1.

Good luck!
