Test Execution should not stop if validations point in test case fail it should log the failure and continue with remaining script in robot framework

Question

I have some validation points in my test case. The test case execution should not stop even if the validation parts are getting failed it should log failure message and continue with remaining script

*** Test Cases ***
Validating Dropdown
    ${sums}=  ['1234','455','4689','9837']
    ${sum2}=  ['1234','455','46','9837']

    ${sum_count}=  Get Length  ${sums}
    FOR  ${i}  IN RANGE  ${sum_count}
        ${sums}[${i}]==${sum2}[${i}]
    END

    ${sums3}=  ['12','455','4689','9837']
    ${sum4}=  ['34','455','46','9837']

    ${sum_count1}=  Get Length  ${sums3}
    FOR  ${i}  IN RANGE  ${sum_count}
        ${sums3}[${i}]==${sum4}[${i}]
    END
    ${sums5}=  ['1234','455','4689','9837']
    ${sum6}=  ['1234','455','4689','9837']

    ${sum_count2}=  Get Length  ${sums5}
    FOR  ${i}  IN RANGE  ${sum_count}
        ${sums5}[${i}]==${sum6}[${i}]
    END

The entire script will run in for loop it should not stop even if the particular validation fails it should continue with the script and log result of each validation whether it is failed or passed

You test is failing due to syntax error. This is the error:

========================================================================================
Validating Dropdown                                                             | FAIL |
No keyword with name '${sums}= ['1234','455','4689','9837']' found.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Validate Continue                                                               | FAIL |
1 test, 0 passed, 1 failed
=======================================================================================

And inside each loop you are not calling a keyword. It will also fail.

This should be a possible corrected test case:

Library           Collections
