No keyword with name 'Create Session' found robot framework - robotframework

I'm new to Robot Framework. When I run ride.py, I'm getting this error.
here is my code:
Create Session chat ${URL1} headers=${MyHeaders1}
Thank you very mych in advance for your help.

Looks like you're trying to use the requests library but haven't imported it. I recommend that you read the user guide, especially the part on importing libraries.
Basically you want to add this in your *** Settings *** section:
*** Settings ***
Library RequestsLibrary
You may also want to check out the library's Github README, there's a few usage examples in there that will likely help you.

I have explain the issue and also the solution.
Problem :
*** Variables ***
${Base_URL} http://www.thetestingworldapi.com/
*** Test Cases ***
TC001_GetRequest
create session thetestingworldapi ${Base_URL}
${response} = get request thetestingworldapi api/studentsDetails
Error in console: No keyword with name '${response}= get request ggg' found.
To resolve this kind of error just do one change in the code part, am attching silution as well below.
Solution :
*** Variables ***
${Base_URL} http://www.thetestingworldapi.com/
*** Test Cases ***
TC001_GetRequest
create session thetestingworldapi http://www.thetestingworldapi.com/ --- Use the main base url instead of the variable and this will work.
${response} = get request thetestingworldapi api/studentsDetails

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

Unable to run shell script from test case

I'm trying to invoke a shell scrip from within a .robot test case.
The .sh file is in the same folder as the .robot file
*** Settings ***
Library Process
*** Test cases ***
Run the shell script
Start Process ./getIDfromDB.sh shell=yes
I'm getting the error:
Setting variable 'Start Process ./getIDfromDB.sh' failed: Invalid variable name 'Start Process ./getIDfromDB.sh'.
Running on Ubuntu
Researched documentation for Robot framework but could not find a solution. Maybe digging in the wrong spot.
I'm not sure how you are trying to set the path of the shell script in the robot file. The error message seems to convey that something is wrong with the way you're initialising the variable to hold the path.
The following code should work:
*** Settings ***
Library Process
*** Variables ***
${pathToScript} ./getIDfromDB.sh
*** Test cases ***
Run shell script
${output} Run process ${pathToScript} shell=yes
The return code and the output displayed in the terminal are stored in the ${output} variable. You can access the details as ${output.rc} and ${output.stdout} respectively.
You can find more details about the result object here.
According error details the keyword is not recognized, I think, you need add extra spaces after keyword name:
Start Process ./getIDfromDB.sh shell=yes

How to create _init_.robot and use it for all robot files in the directory in robot framework?

I am trying to include_init_.robot file in the test suite. I have added a test implementation to check the method it would work, however I am unable to figure out it's execution. Code is as follows:
init.robot
*** Settings ***

test#1.robot

Code used to run the test: pybot folder_name
The name of the first file is incorrect. You have
_init_.robot
while it should be
__init__.robot
When you do that the log will show this:

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

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.

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 ***
Hello
