The code:

Move the return statement after the function definition, otherwise the return happens before test() is called.

*** Settings ***
Library  Selenium2Library

*** Test Cases ***
Example
    [Setup]     open browser  about:blank   chrome
    [Teardown]  close all browsers

    ${test}=  execute javascript  function test() {return 1}; return test();
    should be equal as strings  ${test}  1
