Return two values in Robot Framework

Question

Is there a possibility to return two variables in Robot Framework?

${result1}, ${result2}=    MyKeyword

doesn't work.

Solution 1

Yes, just place the variables in separate cells, both when assigning and when returning the values.

For example:

*** Test Case ***
Example
    ${value1}    ${value2}    return two values
    Should be equal    ${value1}    this is value 1
    Should be equal    ${value2}    this is value 2


*** Keywords ***
Return two values
    ${v1}=      set variable    this is value 1
    ${v2}=      set variable    this is value 2

    [Return]    ${v1}    ${v2} 

Solution 2

Remove the ,

${result1}    ${result2}    =    MyKeyword

Solution 3

${result1}    ${result2} =    MyKeyword

worked for me.

${result1}    ${result2}    =    MyKeyword

gave me:

No keyword with name '=' found.

In case it matters, I'm using spaces only, no tabs.

This doesn't work for me. '${result1} ${result2}=' --> keyword not found

Guessing this was an issue with separation or you weren't actually returning two values from the keyword

And also an issue with the equals sign.

[shicky]

yes this is the separation issue, it's because you have the equals sign on the variable. If it were separated appropriately it should work fine unless I'm mistaken

I realize it is a year since this post, but the answer here is mildly syntactically incorrect. There cannot be more than 1 space between the '=' and the variable to its left (zero spaces are fine as well). Any more spaces results in Robot treating the equal sign as a distinct keyword (which will fail). Unfortunately, since SO thinks the edit is too trivial, I can't remove those spaces.

@logicalscope I'm afraid I disagree, I used the above method many times without it failing. My previous workplace used 4spaces as separation and it worked without issue
