如何将动态值设置为变量并将其用于机器人框架中的其他测试？

Question

Suppose I have a generated random alphanumeric character in Test 1(or by using user defined keyword). Now I want to set that random generated value to a variable ${RandomName} (see attached image) and use that variable for other test methods (say Test 2).

How would I go about doing this in Robot Framework?

Answer 1

You can use the keyword Set Suite Variable to make the variable accessible in every test in the current suite:

Set suite variable    ${RandomName}

There is also a keyword named Set global variable which works in a similar manner but makes the variable available to all tests:

Set global variable    ${RandomName}

If you want to create a new variable that is visible everywhere you can do that with Set Suite Variable as well:

Set global variable    ${new variable}    ${RandomName}
