How to run [FOR LOOP] in [Run Keyword If]

[Wentao Wu]

Hi All

Robot can support this format:

:FOR     ${var}      IN     @{values}

\\      Run Keyword IF     '${var' == 'EXIT' .     EXIT For Loop

\\      Do Something         ${var}

But how to support add [FOR LOOP] in [Run Keyword If] :

Run Keyword IF    "${var_list}"  is not "${None}"       :FOR     ${var} .   IN .   ${var_list}

...                                                                                     \\      Do Something         ${var}

ELSE                    Do Something

Thanks!

You have to put the for loop in a keyword and then have Run Keyword If call that keyword.

Thanks very much for your reply, seems robot can't support add for loop after run keyword if ?

as I don't want to add more keywords, it's really a very simple line.

Why I need this feature?

1. I'm writing more keywords, the input keyword argument will have  empty vaule/list value

2. in my keyword content,I will do check ,if the value is not None, then do for loop to use the list value in ${var}

We have too many this keywords, if we need to write 20 keyword in this format, we will add 40 keywords to do it? it's not a good solution for us.

Thanks!

Ugh

The feature you are looking doesn't exist in Robot Framework. If you want to have a for loop after if statement, in Robot Framework test data, only option is to put that for loop inside of a keyword. Just like was said in the previous response. 

The other option is to hide such complex logic in a library keyword, which will bring the full power of programming language for you to use. Using, example Python, will bring many benefits: creating complicated logic is easier, more readable, easier to maintain and you can have other logical operations that what is provided by the Robot Framework.

I tend to favour hiding complex logic in a library keyword. For me, it's easier to write and test.
