How to use "Run Keyword if ${variable} = value?

[N.T.]

For my scripts, I need to be able to switch between running locally or running my scripts through BrowserStack

So I have a variable used to tell the RobotFramework which one to run. called ${ENV}. This is placed in a separate variable file that gets imported 

This is how it's setup on my script:

Run Keyword if ${ENV} == local Open Browser ${url} ${browser}

Run Keyword if ${ENV} == browserstack Open Browser https://localhost:3000 ${browser} remote_url=${COMMAND_BROWSERSTACK} desired_capabilities=${DESIRED_CAPABILITIES_BROWSERSTACK}

When I run my scripts, I get this error:

20150629 16:15:42.785 :  FAIL : Evaluating expression 'browserstack == local' failed: NameError: name 'browserstack' is not defined

Am not quite sure how to fix this. I understand that Python has a different way or reading this scenario but I can't think of a better workaround or how to make this work for me. I need to know how because I might have cases where I can only run certain steps if, say for example am running my script on a mobile environment. So I would say 

Run Keyword if ${mobile} == true

Help is most appreciated as always. Thanks!

The expression must be a valid python expression. "browserstack == local" isn't valid unless you have python variables named browserstack and local. Since you're doing string comparisons, you need to add quotes around those values:

    Run Keyword if    "${ENV}" == "local"    Open Browser    ${url}    ${browser}

It amazes me how simple the solution was.

It works now. Thanks so much!

Robot Framework just rocks! But some people like my colleague still f**** around with Selenium, Java, Ant, Maven and who knows what else - tryin' to reinvent the f****** wheel!
