Create keywords ​

Starting from Robot Framework 4, a keyword is automatically created from python functions.

Use the keyword decorator to set custom name, tags and argument types.

python
from robot.api import deco

@deco.keyword('Hello World')
def hello_world():
    return 'Hello World'

Use the not_keyword decorator to disable a function to become a keyword.

python
from robot.api import deco

@deco.not_keyword
def hello_world():
    return 'Hello World'

Run robot keyword ​

python
from robot.libraries.BuiltIn import builtIn
BuiltIn().fatal_error('Some message')

Selenium driver ​

Get the selenium driver and access all selenium methods.

python
from robot.libraries.BuiltIn import BuiltIn
SL = BuiltIn().get_library_instance('SeleniumLibrary')
SL.driver
