underscore as variable

[sreekalyan devaraj]

Hi There,

I am finding that an underscore in variable name is  insensitive when we run a basic test case. When i run the following, 

*** Variables ***

${x1}    123

${x_1}   abc

*** Test Cases ***

Verify Underscore

    Set Suite Variable    ${x}    ${x_1}

    Set Suite Variable    ${y1}    ${x1}

    Log    ${x}

    Log    ${y1}

I get both x and y1 as 123.

Should we not use underscore when assigning variables?

From the robot framework user guide [1]:

Robot Framework variables, similarly as keywords, are case-insensitive, and also spaces and underscores are ignored.

So, ${x1} and ${x_1} refer to the same variable.
