Import robot library to Python file and execute keywords in python file

[Rana Dash]

Hi

  My requirement is to import robot library to python file and execute the robot keywords as python functions in python file. i have gone through lots of documents and in everywhere all are giving the solution which is not working. I am new to robot framework i don't have any idea is it possible or not. Is anyone who had done this task before, can help me?

from robot.libraries.BuiltIn import BuiltIn

def call_keyword(keyword):
    return BuiltIn().run_keyword(keyword)

This is exactly how you do it. Though, you'll probably want to support the ability to pass additional arguments. Why do you think it's not working? Are you getting an error?

For example, put the following in a file named "mykeywords.py":

from robot.libraries.BuiltIn import BuiltIn

def call_keyword(keyword, *args, **kwargs):
    return BuiltIn().run_keyword(keyword, *args, **kwargs)

In the same folder, create a robot file that looks like this:

*** Settings ***
Library  mykeywords.py

*** Test Cases ***
Example
    call keyword  log to console   hello, world
