How to use Variable and UserKeyword from test case level, which created at project level.



I have a robot framework project like:



Project
Suite1
TC_001
TC_002
Suite2
TC_003
TC_004


I have create Variable and UserKeyword at project level and I want to use those Variable and UserKeyword from test case level. My question is, how to use them at test case level?

  • Under Settings you have to call the file as resource. Example: Let say you have ${username}= Random in suite1.robot. You have to call suite1.robot in file you want to use *** Settings *** Resource Suite1.robot *** Test Case *** Suite Variable Check Log ${username}

From the Robot Framework User Guide there are two sections you may want to go through in more detail:




  • Variables

  • Resource and variable files


Both of these describe how to import variables and external keywords from external files. In essence a resource file is a regular robot file but without the test cases. It only contains keywords and has the regular settings and variable sections. It can be imported in your test suite file through the Resource common.robot construct:



*** Settings ***
Resource common.robot
Resource feature_1.robot
Resource feature_2.robot


*** Variables ***
${HOST} localhost:7272

*** Keywords ***
Open Login Page

  • As the resource name is the file name your limitations are typically the ones imposed by your OS. So I'd stick with either CamelCase or use of under_scores . As you can also use directory names ./common/browser.robot and ./common/general.robot or ./application/feature/function.robot` make for a good way to keep your code maintainable.

You'll have to import the file created in the "Project" directory, and afterwards you'll have access to the variables and keywords defined in it.



If the file there is called "The_project_file.robot", in "Suite_1.robot":



*** Settings ***
Resource ../The_project_file.robot

*** Test Case ***
TC_001
Log ${variable defined in The_project_file}
${value}= Keyword Defined In The Project File
