Store Generate Random String as a Variable

[Almost Two]

Hi,

I'm using Robot Framework with Selenium2Library and i can't figure out how to implement the Generate Random String in order to fill a field in a webform.

Thanks for your support.

What don't you understand? The documentation includes working examples.

Here's a complete example; save it to a file and run it with robot to see the strings that are generated:

*** Settings ***

| Library | String

*** Test Cases ***

| Examples of generating random strings

| | ${ret} = | Generate Random String |    | 

| | ${low} = | Generate Random String | 12 | [LOWER]

| | ${bin} = | Generate Random String | 8  | 01

| | ${hex} = | Generate Random String | 4  | [NUMBERS]abcdef

| | 

| | Log to console | ret = '${ret}'

| | Log to console | low = '${low}'

| | Log to console | bin = '${bin}'

| | Log to console | hex = '${hex}'

I don't understand what part you don't understand. Did you try the following?

    ${loan-number}=   Generate Random String   12   [LOWER]

    Input Text    j_id0:j_id3:j_id30:j_id61:loanNumber    ${loan-number}  

I don't know what format you want the random string to be in, so the above just gives you 12 random lowercase letters.
