Assign a value to a variable in Robot Framework in a test case

[Neel Desai]

Hello All,

I have one variable, called ${currentTask}. I want to assign a value to this variable.Let's say 'abc' in my test case. I am doing following thing. My robot framework giving error on this type of assignment.

*** Keywords  ***  

Assign value to variable

    ${currentTask}    'abc'   

    Log    ${currentTask} 

    Printvalue    ${currentTask} 

Can anyone help me out in this thing? I am new to robot framework.

Thanks,

There is a "Set Variable" keyword exactly for this purpose

*** Keywords ***

    ${currentTask}=    Set variable    abc
