Run a shared Keyword test in different projects with different parameters

I have the functionality to import an excel sheet (File A) in one of my project (Project A).  I am using this same functionality in a different project (project B) using a 'shared keyword test'.  When running project B I want to use a different Excel File (File B) in that shared Keyword test. 

I created two parameters 'Excel A' and 'Excel B'. But the problem is, every time I change the parameter in one of my projects the other one is also getting updated with the file. 

I should be able to run the entire project suite using Parameter Excel A in one project and parameter Excel B in the other project.

Let me know your thoughts.

    Hi,

     

    I can think about two options:

    -- Either assign a proper value to the parameter of your keyword test before calling it; or

    -- Combine test projects via different test suites and use Project Suite Variables to keep required values for the parameter.

    It sounds like you are saving these parameters somewhere?  If you're going to do that, they need unique names  Try something like this (with your syntax of course).

     

    variable ProjectAExcel = ExcelA

    variable ProjectBExcel = ExcelB

     

     

    Project A

    call MyKeywordTest(ProjectAExcel)

     

    ProjectB

    call MyKeywordTest(ProjectBExcel)

      Since I am sharing the Keyword test, If I create a parameter for the Keyword test in Project A it's getting shared with Project B also. I want to use different parameters for the shared keyword test in different projects when I run the entire project suite.

        Different parameters or different values for the same parameters?
