Run Keyword and Expect Error, how to expect one of several errors?

[Pether Pettersson]

Is it possible to expect several errors? I have tried using list variables to no avail.
I need to be able to check if the Keyword runs into one of several possible exceptions.

If i try to use a list all it says is that there are no Keywords with the name of an error i want to look for

Run Keyword and Expect Error  Meow  Keyword        # Works as it's only one Error
Run Keyword and Expect Error @{errors}  Keyword   # Doesn't work, claims no keyword with the name of the second item in the list

A possible solution is for you to create a keyword that calls `Run Keyword And Ignore Error` which obtains the error message (or keyword result), and then you would test the error message.

What are the error conditions you expect? A list of errors that must occur, or a list of possible errors?

Hi,

I am creating test cases that i am using to debug communication with an MCU. When i communicate i get responses, if i send a faulty message i am supposed to get error codes back, i want to catch the error codes that i want to happen, seeing as it responds as i want.
How i have structured this up is that i read the communication, if i don't get a proper message, i send it to a parser that checks the error codes and raises an exception containing the error in text instead of bytes, making it easier to read. I want to catch these exceptions in robot framework, instead of for example, in the python code. 

So it's errors, exceptions, that must occur for the test to PASS.

Pether,

Try with "Run Keyword And Continue On Failure" keyword. if you want to test multiple options then you must have to FOR loop. in to that you can use this keyword.

It will log run time error separately.

I don't think that will work for my test. I am using one keyword, and can receive one of several errors, which will come i don't know, only that one of those will(should) come.
