New issue 858 by [email protected]: Loading variables from resource
file fails if variable table exists in test case
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=858
Consider the following scenario
resource_file.txt
*** Variable ***
${VAR1} x
${VAR2} y
${VAR3} ${VAR1} ${VAR2}
test_case.txt
*** Variables ***
${VAR4} ${VAR3} z
*** Test Cases ***
Test name
I execute ${VAR4}
This fails for me with error message
[ ERROR ] Invalid syntax in file 'test_case.txt' in table 'Variables':
Setting variable '${VAR4}' failed: Non-existing variable '${VAR3}'.
However if I just move the variable VAR4 to resource_file.txt, delete the
variable table from the test case and keeping everything else the same then
the test case passes.
System details:
I am using robotframework-2.5.7 jar under Eclipse in Windows. Java version
sunjdk 1.6.0_24
