WHILE loops in Robot Framework

[Vladislav Golban]

Hi, I'm exhausted from searching for info about WHILE loops in the Robot Framework, I need to create a loop that will click on the Next Page button until a specific locator is found by Robot.

Any information or resource that can teach me how to create such loops will be extremely beneficial.

Thanks and Happy New Year!!

Should be able to do something along the lines of this:

${locator_found} = ${False}

WHILE  ${locator_found} == ${False}

  keyword to click next page

  ${locator_found} =  keyword that returns true or false indicating whether locator was found

END

You may also want to keep track of a max loop count and fail if you reach it without finding the locator.

Hope that helps!

Better option is 

Wait until element is visible / wait until page contains element 

This will be defined with timeout in seconds /minute 

Wait until page contains element.      $locator.     1h 5m 30s.   msg=Failure message
