How to return an array to a Robot variable

(And by “Robot,” I mean the Robot Framework)

Here’s how to return an Array from a Java function to a Robot variable. Simply use Java’s Array syntax (a List won’t work–Robot deals with only Strings, ints, and Arrays).

In Robot:

@{robotArray} =    My Robot Keyword

In the underlying Java:

@RobotKeyword
String[] myRobotKeyword(){
   // do stuff here and return a String array
}
