Generate Random String Robot Framework New update

Here’s an example of how to generate a random string in Robot Framework using the BuiltIn library:

markdown
*** Settings ***
Library    BuiltIn

*** Test Cases ***
Generate Random String
    ${random_string}=    Generate Random String    10    [LETTERS]
    Log    ${random_string}

In this example, the Generate Random String keyword from the BuiltIn library is used to generate a random string with 10 letters. The second argument [LETTERS] specifies that the string should only contain uppercase and lowercase letters.

You can change the length of the string and the character set by modifying the arguments to the Generate Random String keyword. Here are some examples:

• Generate a random string of 5 digits: ${random_string}= Generate Random String 5 [NUMBERS]
• Generate a random string of 8 uppercase letters: ${random_string}= Generate Random String 8 [UPPERCASE]
• Generate a random string of 12 lowercase letters and digits: ${random_string}= Generate Random String 12 [LOWER][NUMBERS]

In Robot Framework, you can use the Concatenate Strings keyword from the built-in String library to concatenate two or more strings. Here’s an example:

bash
*** Test Cases ***
Concatenate Strings Test
    ${string1}    Set Variable    Hello
    ${string2}    Set Variable    World
    ${concatenated}    Concatenate Strings    ${string1}    ${string2}
    Log    ${concatenated}

In the example above, we first set two variables string1 and string2 with the values “Hello” and “World” respectively. We then use the Concatenate Strings keyword to concatenate the two strings and store the result in a variable named concatenated. Finally, we log the value of the concatenated variable.

When we run the above test case, we should see the following output:

Concatenate Strings Test
HelloWorld

Note that the Concatenate Strings keyword can take any number of arguments, so you can concatenate more than two strings if you need to.

Robot Framework is a generic open-source test automation framework that supports many different testing types, including acceptance testing, API testing, and GUI testing. The framework is designed to be used with various test automation tools and libraries, and it provides a simple, tabular syntax for creating test cases.

To work with string manipulation in Robot Framework, you can use the built-in String library, which provides a range of keywords for working with strings. Here are some examples of how you can use the String library to manipulate strings in Robot Framework:

1. Concatenating Strings: Use the keyword “Concatenate Strings” to join two or more strings together.

Example:

bash
${str1}=  Set Variable  Hello
${str2}=  Set Variable  World
${concatenated}=  Concatenate Strings  ${str1}  ${str2}
Log  ${concatenated}   # Output: "HelloWorld"

1. Splitting Strings: Use the keyword “Split String” to separate a string into a list of substrings based on a separator.

Example:

typescript
${string}=  Set Variable  Hello,World
${list}=  Split String  ${string}  ,
Log  ${list}   # Output: ['Hello', 'World']

1. Replacing Substrings: Use the keyword “Replace String” to replace a substring with another substring.

Example:

bash
${string}=  Set Variable  Hello World
${new_string}=  Replace String  ${string}  World  Robot
Log  ${new_string}   # Output: "Hello Robot"

1. Converting Case: Use the keywords “Upper Case” and “Lower Case” to convert a string to uppercase or lowercase.

Example:

bash
${string}=  Set Variable  HeLLo WORld
${upper_case}=  Upper Case  ${string}
${lower_case}=  Lower Case  ${string}
Log  ${upper_case}   # Output: "HELLO WORLD"
Log  ${lower_case}   # Output: "hello world"

These are just a few examples of the many ways you can manipulate strings in Robot Framework using the built-in String library.
