How to assign value to a variable depending on IF/ELSE condition in Robot?












2














I am trying to assign a variable the return value of the Keyword (Get Ipsec Pkt Stat) if a condition is true. The following is the syntax I am using, however my variable ${ipsec_stats} gets assigned None, even though the condition is being satisfied:



Run Keyword If    '${chassis_cluster}' == 'True'
... ${ipsec_stat} = Get Ipsec Pkt Stats ${R0} node=local
... ELSE
... ${ipsec_stat} = Get Ipsec Pkt Stats ${R0}
[Return] ${ipsec_stat}

          run keyword if requires keywords as arguments, not variable names followed by keywords.



          The correct way to assign a variable with run keyword if is to set the variable to the result of that keyword:



          ${ipsec_stat}=  Run keyword if  '${chassis_cluster}' == 'True'
          ... Get ipsec Pkt Stats ${R0} node=local
          ... ELSE
          ... Get ipsec Pkt Stats ${R0}
