How to store output to a variable using Execute Javascript new Date().toLocaleDateString() in Robot Framework?

Question

I am using Robot Framework and I want to capture the date that is generated by this method:

Execute Javascript  new Date().toLocaleDateString()

If I do something like the below the trace log file reflects ${result} = none . I expect the output to be ${result} = current date

${result} = Execute JavaScript  Date().toLocaleDateString()

Answer 1

Missing the return function.

${result}=    Execute JavaScript    ldate = Date().toLocaleString();    return ldate;

EDIT: Changed code to return an object.
