• Return values of keywords calls can be assigned to variables in the debugger console

  • You can call keywords in the debugger console just as you would write your keyword calls in robot files.
    Everything that starts with '! ' (beware the space) is handled like a keyword call, for example:

    ! Log  Hello
    

    would call the keyword Log and writes Hello to report.

    !  Evaluate  1+2
    

    calls Evaluate and writes the result to the log.

    To assign the result of a keyword to a variable write something like

    ! ${result}  Evaluate  1+2
    

    This will assign the result of the expression to the variable ${result} in the current execution context.

    A more complex example:

    ! ${a}  @{c}=  ${b}  Evaluate  "Hello World!!! How do you do?".split(' ')
    

    A side effect of this is that the keyword calls are logged in log.html when you continue your debug session.
