New issue 1636 by pekka.klarck: OperatingSystem: New `Append To Environment
Variable` keyword
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1636
This issue was created by revision 2a77a2b82640.
This keyword eases setting environment variables that contain different
entries separated by ';' (Windows) or ':' (elsewhere). Such environment
variables include PATH, PYTHONPATH and CLASSPATH.
The keyword accepts multiple values and joins them together with the
correct path separator. If the environment variable was already set, the
original value is preserved in the beginning of the new value.
This keyword ought to be done (implemented, tested, and documented), but
there are two things still to be considered:
1) Should separator be configurable? Could easily add **kwargs and read
optional separator from there, but I'm not sure are there any use cases for
it.
2) Since this the main use case is setting PATH and PATH-like environment
variables, should we also change the name to `Append To PATH Environment
Variable`? I doubt this would make the keyword much easier to understand,
though.
