IF ELSE in robot framework with variables assignment

Question

I need to execute some keywords conditionally in robot framework, but I dont know how to do it, it does not work. I tried many options, but I guess I have the \"IF-ELSE\" statem

Answer 1

Having IF/THEN/ELSE with multiple statements in each block does not work in Robot (or you would have to use "Run Keywords" I suppose, but that would become unreadable). So I would refactor your code this way:

Choose Particular Filter ${FILTER} And Uncheck All Values
    ${is_filter_opened}=   is filter opened   ${AVAILABLE FILTERS}   ${FILTER}
    run keyword  if    ${is_filter_opened}    actions_when_unchecked
    ...                ELSE  actions_when_checked

actions_when_unchecked
    uncheck all in filter  ${AVAILABLE FILTERS}   ${FILTER}
    click element   ${uncheck_all_button}

actions_when_checked    
    ${particular_filter}:    find particular filter   ${AVAILABLE FILTERS}  ${FILTER}
    click element   ${particular_filter}
    ${uncheck_all_button}:   uncheck all in filter  ${AVAILABLE FILTERS}   ${FILTER}
    click element   ${uncheck_all_button}   

Hope this helps.
