IndentNestedKeywords#

Format indentation inside run keywords variants such as Run Keywords or Run Keyword And Continue On Failure.

Enabling the transformer

IndentNestedKeywords is not included in default transformers, that’s why you need to call it with --transform explicitly:

robotidy --transform IndentNestedKeywords src

Or configure enabled parameter:

robotidy --configure IndentNestedKeywords:enabled=True

Keywords inside run keywords variants are detected and whitespace is formatted to outline them.

*** Test Cases ***
Test
    Run Keyword    Run Keyword If    ${True}    Run keywords   Log    foo    AND    Log    bar    ELSE    Log    baz
*** Test Cases ***

    Run Keyword
    ...    Run Keyword If    ${True}
    ...        Run keywords
    ...            Log    foo
    ...            AND
    ...            Log    bar
    ...    ELSE
    ...        Log    baz

Handle AND inside Run Keywords#

AND argument inside Run Keywords can be handled in different ways. It is controlled via indent_and parameter. You can configure it using indent_and:

robotidy -c IndentNestedKeywords:indent_and=keep_and_indent src

Following values are available:

  • indent_and=split splits AND to new line,

  • indent_and=split_and_indent splits AND and additionally indents the keywords,

  • indent_and=keep_in_line keeps AND next to the previous keyword.

    Run keywords
    ...    Log    foo
    ...    AND
    ...    Log    bar
*** Test Cases ***

    Run keywords
    ...        Log    foo

    ...    Log    bar

robotidy -c IndentNestedKeywords:skip_settings:True .
