How to make multi-lines test setup or teardown in RobotFramework without creating new keyword?

Question

I need to call two teardown keywords in test case but must not create new keyword for that. I am interesting if there is a such syntax for keywords as for documentation or loops

Answer 1

For executing multiple keywords in Test Teardown method use the following trick:

Firstly, define a new keyword containing the set of keywords you want to execute.

E.g. here Failed Case Handle is a new definition of the other two keywords take screenshot and close application. Consider this is to take a screenshot and then close the running application.

*** Keywords ***
Failed Case Handle
    take screenshot
    close application

Basically, when you call the Failed Case Handle keyword, take screenshot and close application will be executed respectively.

Then, in the ***Settings*** section define the Test Teardown procedure by the following example.

*** Settings ***
Test Teardown  run keyword if test failed  Failed Case Handle

or,

*** Settings ***
Test Teardown  run keyword  Failed Case Handle

So, in the first case Failed Case Handle keyword will be called if any test case fails. On the other-hand in the second case Failed Case Handle keyword will be called after each test cases.
