Solution

  • Using either Run Keyword And Continue On Failure or Run Keyword And Ignore Error can help with this. In the documentation the entire family of Run Keyword .... keywords.

    The difference between the two is that one just returns the value, whereas the other also provides the status of the Keyword execution.

    *** Test Cases ***
Test Case
    ${CoF_Pass_1}    Run Keyword And Continue On Failure    KW Pass
    ${CoF_Fail}      Run Keyword And Continue On Failure    KW Fail
    ${CoF_Pass_2}    Run Keyword And Continue On Failure    KW Pass

    ${IE_Pass_1}    Run Keyword And Ignore Error    KW Pass
    ${IE_Fail}      Run Keyword And Ignore Error    KW Fail
    ${IE_Pass_2}    Run Keyword And Ignore Error    KW Pass 

*** Keywords ***
KW Pass
    [Return]    SomeRandomValue
KW Fail
    Fail    SomeFaileMessage

    This then results into: 

    Starting test: Test Case
INFO : ${CoF_Pass_1} = SomeRandomValue
FAIL : SomeFaileMessage
INFO : ${CoF_Fail} = None
INFO : ${CoF_Pass_2} = SomeRandomValue
INFO : ${IE_Pass_1} = ('PASS', u'SomeRandomValue')
FAIL : SomeFaileMessage
INFO : ${IE_Fail} = ('FAIL', u'SomeFaileMessage')
INFO : ${IE_Pass_2} = ('PASS', u'SomeRandomValue')
Ending test: Test Case
