New issue 874 by [email protected]: Assignment of a list with one
element to single scalar results in a scalar that is a list object
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=874
Robot Framework 2.5.6 (Python 2.6.6 on win32)
There is a feature that allows to assign returned elements of a lists
directly to multiple scalars.
Example: a keyword returns a list of two elements that shall be assigned to
two scalars. Such a step can be written as:
${element_1}= ${element_1}= Test_library.keyword
The defect now is that if a keyword returns a list with one element then
${element_1} becomes a list with one element and not just a referenc to the
element:
i.e.
${element_1}= Test_library.keyword
${element_1} then is of type list with that single element, i.e.,
[reference to element_1]
The attachment illustrates the defect
