 Use cases 1

 Use cases 2

And the variables in the operation steps , For example, element positioning , May be used in this keyword , It will also be used in other keywords , If the element location changes , We need to change these keywords at the same time , so much trouble .
Another example is the account number 、 Data like passwords , Different accounts have different permissions , You need to use different accounts to operate .
therefore , For this type of data , It can be separated , That is to say Public variables , Play the role of sharing

RF Use of public variables

Public variables need to declare variables in the variable table , Create a new one Public variables .robot file , establish Variables surface , stay Variables Declare variables in the table

#  Element localization 
${
     Netease email address }     https://mail.163.com/
${
    iframe}      xpath=//iframe[contains(@id,'iframe')]
${
     User name input box }       xpath=//*[@name="email"]
${
     Password input box }      xpath=//*[@name="password"]
${

#  Account data 
${

${
     jurisdiction 2 account number }         user name 2
${
     jurisdiction 2 password }         password 2

And then in common.robot Import in file Public variables .robot file ：Resource Public variables .robot

list Variable

Public variables .robot In file , The variable type can also be list Variable

For example, in the process of project iteration , There will be multiple test environments , By creating a list Variable , Put the addresses of these test environments in list Variable in . Here we use Netease email address For example , Be careful , When you declare a variable here, it becomes @{ Netease email address }
