如何在机器人框架中动态导入变量文件

Question

I am working in robot framework. I have two variables files in it. I want to pass these variables files dynamically. In certain condition I want to send a.py and in others b.py. But this information I want to pass dynamically. Can you please help me with this

Answer 1

You can use the Import library keyword to manually import an external file.

Then use the Run Keyword If keyword to check which library to import. For example:

Run Keyword If   '${VAR}' == 'a'   Import Library   a.py
Run Keyword If   '${VAR}' == 'b'   Import Library   b.py

You can pass the VAR as a parameter to your test:

pybot --variable VAR:a TestSuite

Answer 2

You can import files based on the variable you are passing during execution

*** Settings ***
Variables    config_${TEST_ENVIRONMENT}.yaml

*** Test Cases ***

*** Keywords ***

Robot command to execute:

$ robot --variable TEST_ENVIRONMENT:local file_name.robot
