How to integrate embedded variables on RobotFramework Keywords

Question

I would like to know how to do something like this:

Resource File:

*** Settings ***
Library SeleniumLibrary

*** Keywords ***

Open Outdoor Menu
   Click Element  id:outdoor_menu

Check Outdoor Monitor Specs
    Page Should Contain Element  id:outdoorpossible

Check Monitors Specs
    [Arguments]   ${Menu}
    Open ${Menu} Menu
    Check ${Menu} Monitor Specs

I have different ${Menu} monitors and something like this would be really helpful. So my test would be like this:

...
Test Template   Check Monitors Specs

*** Test Cases ***
Outdoor Menu  Outdoor
Station Menu  Station
etc.

I try this and gives me this error : " no keyword with name 'Open ${Menu} Menu' found. " Do you have any ideas on how can i implement something like this? Many thanks

Does this answer your question? How can I specify arguments in the middle of the sentence in gherkin-style tests in robot framework? — Bence Kaulics

Could it be, that you forgot the extra spaces for this keyword? Open | ${Menu} | Menu — M.M.

You need to use "Run Keyword"

Check Monitors Specs
   [Arguments]   ${Menu}
   Run Keyword  Open ${Menu} Menu   
   Run Keyword  Check ${Menu} Monitor Specs
