Keyword calling a keyword from another file with variable

good morning!

I'm automating tests using Robot Framework with Sikulli Library.

I have the following problem, I don't even know how to do it:

I would like to create a keyword in a file with a Wait Until Screen Contain and then a click. The goal is to keep it standardized and not keep repeating it over and over again.

And in the other files create keywords using the keyword in the file. Then I would only add the keyword, I wouldn't need to add a wait and click.

Would?

First file example:

*** Keywords ***
clickButton
    Wait Until Screen Contain    ${IMAGE}.png    3
    Click    ${IMAGE}.png

Second file example:

*** Keywords ***
testOne
    clickButton     imageOne

The "imageOne" is the image name saved.

Waiting!

Thank you!!

It can be done by importing the first file as a resource. Here is the documentation. In your case it would look something like this:

file1.resource

*** Keywords ***
clickButton
[Arguments]    ${IMAGE}
    Wait Until Screen Contain    ${IMAGE}.png    3
    Click    ${IMAGE}.png

file2.robot

*** Settings ***
Resource    ${RESOURCES}/file1.resource
Resource    path/to/file/file1.resource
Resource    ${CURDIR}/path/file1.resource
Resource    file1.resource
etc
*** Keywords ***
testOne
    clickButton     imageOne

There are several options for importing the file. Use variable in the path, variable can be easily set when runnung the tests. Use absolute path, you can even use ${CURDIR}, or just with the file name if the files are in the same folder or you have it in your python path

${CURDIR} An absolute path to the directory where the test data file is located. This variable is case-sensitive.
