I am familiar with using template keywords in data-driven Robot Framework testing and know that external sources of data such as text files and csv files can be used to provide test data. However, the organisation I work for wants to use data held in a database as a source for test case data. Does anybody know if this is possible? I have searched Stack Exchange, Stack Overflow and other resources but cannot find an answer or any examples. Here is an example of the data-driven approach I am familiar just to give you an idea of where we are now. *** Settings *** Library Selenium2Library Library

I use Robot Framework with custom keywords implemented in java libraries. Messages written directly to System.out from my java classes are visible in the robot output - as promised in documentation. However, since the keyword implementations are reusable components, independent from robot framework, I wanted to have more flexible logging there and not using System.out directly. I thought if I redirect my log output to System.out (with log4j's ConsoleAppender), the messages will be visible in robot output. Unfortunately it does not work. My log4j properties file: log4j.appender.Stdout=org
