Robot Framework Test Template Setup argument problems - robotframework

I've got several working Robot Framework tests that I'm trying to consolidate into one test suite and run through a template. The tests are functionally the same, just being executed from a different URL. So that's the one parameter that's different. I'm trying to pass the URL into each test case, but I am getting an error: "Keyword 'Setup' expected 0 arguments, got 2."
*** Settings ***

Anybody have any ideas? Please let me know, thanks!

You are calling Setup with two arguments, like the error says:

Robot framework SSHLibrary 0 arguments expected two

I am trying to make a testcase in robotframework with SSHLibrary and running into an error trying to connect with the FTP server. The error I get is keyword login.login expects 0 arguments and gets two. I do not really understand why it does expect 0 arguments.
the resource file in which the keyword file exists has the following code:
*** Settings ***
Library SSHLibrary
*** Keywords ***
lOGIN
Set Default Configuration 30s
Open Connection ${HOST}
Login ${USERNAME} ${PASSWORD}
The test I like to run looks like:
*** Settings ***
Documentation Example of testing an accrual for TLOG
Resource ../Resources/login.robot
*** Variables ***
${HOST} sitenv
${USERNAME} crmapplication
${PASSWORD} Company11*
*** Test Cases ***
logintositenv
login.login
Any idea what is going wrong? I am especially surprised I cannot get it to work because I used the open connection and login keywords from SSHLibrary before when I was trying out a few things and it worked fine.
As you said login.login That tells me you have probably another library that has keyword login. In this case you have to specify that you want to use SSH library.
You can do this with
SSHLibrary.Login
Here you can have a look how to import library with custom name and use keywords

How can I call the xpath from another file?

There are 2 files
Testcase/feature1.robot
POM/feature2.robot
feature1.robot
*** Settings ***
Library SeleniumLibrary
Resource ../POM/feature2.robot
*** Variables ***
${username} xxxxxxxx
${password} xxxxxxxx
*** Keywords ***
Login in DataRPM
#[Arguments] ${username} ${password}
Input Text ${email_id} ${username}
feature2.robot
*** Settings ***
Documentation This contains all the locaters of Login Page
*** Variables ***
${email_id} xxxxxxxx
But here I don't want to use the email_id locator to be mentioned in the variable section. If I am mentioning the ${email_id} in this feature file I am able to go ahead without any error. I want to use the locator in the feature2.robot file which is under my POM directory. Then I want to call the variable from feature2.robot.
I have mentioned the path in the feature1.robot but still I am getting error.
[ ERROR ] Error in file feature1.robot': Resource file 'path' contains
a test case table which is not allowed.
The error is pretty descreptive, while you not showing use you probably have test cases implemented in feature2.robot and in that case it is a suite file.
But you are trying to use feature2.robot as a resource file, and as the error message states, resource files are not allowed to have test case table.
You should create a third file like POM/locators.robot:
*** Settings ***
Documentation This contains all the locaters of Login Page
*** Variables ***
${email_id} xxxxxxxx
and use this in both feature1.robot and feature2.robot like:
Resource ../POM/locators.robot
Resource locators.robot
From Robot Framework 3.1 *.resource file extension is supported, so if you have version 3.1, you should use locators.resource to be more explicit about that this file is a resource file and not a test suite.
your question is not clear, However , i would try to show an error free example using your code only, with slight modification.
feature1.robot
*** Settings ***
Resource ../Data/Feature2.robot
*** Variables ***
${username} pankaj
${password} xxxxxxxx
*** Test Cases ***
Login
Login in DataRPM
*** Keywords ***
Login in DataRPM
#[Arguments] ${username} ${password}
log to console ${email_id}
log to console ${username}
Feature2.robot
*** Settings ***
Documentation This contains all the locaters of Login Page
*** Variables ***
${email_id} pankajigec26#gmail.com
if you run feature1.robot you will not get into any error .
In your case , please check if you are running the same code which you have pasted here.

Import Library into Robot Test

I want to import library SeleniumLibrary into Robot test file but resulted not found. What could be the error?
I have installed SeleniumLibrary into C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages and set the environment variables. I"m using python 2.7.9
*** Settings ***
Documentation This is a simple test for Robot Framework
Library SeleniumLibrary
#Set Selenium Speed 2 seconds

*** Test Cases ***

Open Browser http://www.amazon.com chrome
[Teardown] Close Browser
*** Keywords ***
Please help. Thanks.
Your SeleniumLibrary looks perfectly fine, the problem is the way you are calling the KW.
The error you are getting here because of below line
Open Browser http://www.amazon.com chrome
There should be two or four spaces between Keywords and Arguments and Arguments and ... , otherwise it will treat whole line as KW , which never going to exist
so change it like this
Open Browser http://www.amazon.com chrome
if it still throw an error, paste it here.
Solve by using four spaces between keywords and argument and argument.

Pycharm : [Errno 10054]

I try to Run a simple robot framework script in PyCharm.Here is my code:

Tell me, please, why this script doesn't open the browser and actions that it should execute and why do I get this error. Thank you.
If the code you posted is literally your code, you're missing at least one space before chrome on the open browser line. There must be two or more spaces between the URL and the browser.
This may not be the only problem, but it's definitely a problem.

File has no test case table in Robot FrameWork

I've encountered a problem relating to Robot Framework test cases. After executing it, the console (cmd screen) displays error:
"[ ERROR ] Parsing 'Login_admin_page.txt' failed: File has no test case table."
Please take a look my test suite as well as test case and help me figure out the issue:
A. Structure of Test cases:
TS_test(folder)
--Login_admin_page.txt (--> main test case)
--resource.txt (--> resource file)
B. Content of test cases file:
Login_admin_page.txt

Thanks.
The error File has no test case table can only occur in one circumstance: you do not have a testcase table. If you have a test case table but have no test cases, you'll get a different error.
A testcase table is denoted by a line that begins with one or more asterisks and then the phrase "Test Case" or "Test Cases". Case doesn't matter, and trailing asterisks are ignored. A fairly common pattern seems to be to use multiple asterisks on both ends of the line, eg: *** Test Cases ***
If you try to give a file without such a heading to robot, you will get the error you report. For example, trying to run robot on a completely empty file will give that exact error. Also, if you misspell "Test Case", you'll get the same error.
Given that, I'm wondering if your error is simply that you forgot to save the file before trying to run it.
Please set proper line endings.
In my case I've changed from Mac (CR) to UNIX (LF)
How about encoding of your test case files? I saved unicode encoded test file and I use to have the same error. Save your test case files in UTF-8 and It will fix your problem.
I have encountered similar file - parsing errors using Robot Framework in the past, mostly when trying to use Microsoft Word to author html files (not recommended!). I have always found that following the advice given in the Robot Framework user Guide about Debugging eventually helps me track the problem down.
In this case, I would recommend you try switching on Robot Framework's syslog output and looking through to see what it has managed to parse, if anything, from your test case file. I recently used this to figure out a nasty UTF-8 character encoding problem introduced into a html test case file by Microsoft Word (again, not recommended unless you really have to!).
(From the User Guide):
#!/bin/bash
export ROBOT_SYSLOG_FILE=/tmp/syslog.txt
export ROBOT_SYSLOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
pybot --name Syslog_example path/to/tests
I had the same problem happen to me, and in my case it was simply a missing new line after * Test Cases * and the start of the actual test table.
This happened when you copy past the content of the test case file. In my case I have copied test case content and paste in nano editor
It got pasted something like below without proper spacing
*** Settings *** Library Selenium2Library *** Variables *** ${BROWSER} firefox *** Testcases *** Hello Open Browser http://www.google.com browser=${BROWSER}
Then I have intend and aligned properly like below and its works
*** Settings ***
Library Selenium2Library
*** Variables ***
${BROWSER} firefox
*** Testcases ***
