Get Type in Robot Framework

Question

Could you tell me about how to get the variable type in Robot Framework.

${ABC}  Set Variable    Test
${XYZ}  Set Variable    1233

Remark: Get the variable Type such as string, int

get ${ABC} type = string

get ${XYZ} type = int

Answer 1

This is what I use:

${type} =    Evaluate    type($temp).__name__

Note: it's good to have global string/int/float/list/dict/... examples for comparison than hard-coding the type values as they might differ depending on build.

Answer 2

You can do e.g. this: ${type_ABC} Evaluate type($ABC)
