I've been trying to use the faker library to generate data without having it in my test cases as static data.
I have tried calling fake.md5(raw_output=False)
directly from my keyword and also by creating a variable and assigning it this value, but neither has the intended effect. It seems that no matter what I do, the only output I'm getting during my test is fake.md5(raw_output=False)
.
What am I doing wrong?
Edit: My keyword (it writes to a specific field, this is just a test keyword to make sure I can use faker) -
Write username
${md5}= MD 5
${my data}= log md5: ${md5}
Input Text a11y-username ${my data}
Edit #2 - I realized I had missed out the log
keyword, I have updated my code
The problem is in this statement:
${my data}= md5: ${md5}
Robot expects the first cell (or the first cell after a variable name) to be a keyword. So, in this case it thinks md5: ${md5}
is a keyword, which it obviously is not. That is why you get the error No keyword with name 'md5: ${md5}' found.
I don't know what you're expecting to do with that line of code. Your value is already in a variable, are you trying to copy it to another variable, or simply print it out?
If your intention was to log the value, use the Log keyword:
Write username
${md5}= MD 5
log md5: ${md5}
If you instead want to copy the value to another variable, you can use the Set Variable keyword:
write username
${md5}= MD 5
${my data}= set variable ${md5}
Input Text a11y-username ${my data}
