Error: Suite contains no tests

I have this structure in my project:

Tests
|__ Keywords
    |__ Keywords.robot
|__ Libs
|__ Scenarios
    |__ UI
        |__ TestScen.robot
|__ Variables
    |__ Variables.robot
|__ RunTest.py

This is TestScen.robot:

*** Settings ***
Library     Selenium2Library
Resource    ../../Variables/Variables.robot
*** Variables ***
*** Keywords ***
Test Login
    log to console      Test Login
    go to       ${url}
    Input Text      id=${uNameId}   ${uiUserName}
    Input Text      id=${passId}    ${uiPassword}
    Click Element   id=${signInId}
    log to console  YaaaaY!

This is RunTest.py:

import argparse
from robot import run
import os
import datetime
import sys


def get_args():
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Robot Test Framework')

    parser.add_argument('--file',
                        metavar='f',
                        default="Scenarios",
                        help='get path of root scenario')

    parser.add_argument('--testSuite',
                        metavar='"scenario name"',
                        default=[],
                        nargs='*',
                        help='get names of test suits')

    parser.add_argument('--tags',
                        metavar='tag',
                        default=[],
                        nargs='*',
                        help='get name of tags')

    parser.add_argument('--testCases',
                        metavar='testCases',
                        default=[],
                        nargs='*',
                        help='get name of testCases')

    parser.add_argument('--skip',
                        metavar='skip',
                        default=["skip"],
                        nargs='*',
                        help='get name of skip testCases')

    args = parser.parse_args()

    return args

if __name__ == "__main__":
    dir_name = datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S')
    os.mkdir('Output/' + dir_name)
    args = get_args()
    run(
        args.file,
        report='Output/' + dir_name + '/report.html',
        log='Output/' + dir_name + '/log.html',
        output='Output/' + dir_name + '/output.xml',
        include=args.tags,
        test=args.testCases,
        exclude=args.skip,
        critical="Critical",
        suite=args.testSuite
    )

I run RunTest.py this way:

python RunTest.py --file Scenarios/UI

This is the output:

[ ERROR ] Suite 'UI' contains no tests.
Try --help for usage information.

What is the problem? Why framework does not recognize my scenario file??

Your file has no test cases. You have settings, variables and keywords, but no test cases.

My guess is that what you have under "Keywords" is actually a test case. Change the heading of that table like this:

*** Test cases ***
Test Login
    log to console      Test Login
    ...
