How to display message in console during test when element is not found with robot framework?

i want to know how to display a message in console when an element is not found with robot framework:

I tried this:

S2L.Wait Until Page Contains Element  ${checkbox}  10s checkbox  not found

It's not working for this element and don't know why. It works for any other element but not for my checkbox.

So for now i have this:

Wait Until Keyword Succeeds  5 times  2 sec  S2L.Click Element ${checkbox}

But when it fails it says only the element not found bu i would prefer to code a personalized message.

Any help is welcome. Thank you

How about using the error argument available with the Wait Until Page Contains Element keyword?

Wait Until Page Contains Element    id=elementId    timeout=60s    error=Display whatever you want, e.g. Lorem Ipsum...

Although I do think that your problem is something different, your question can be answered. Run Keyword And Return Status will capture the error and continue and provide a status. Run Keyword If then allows for using the keyword Fail and it will also generate a message on the console. 

*** Settings ***
Library    SeleniumLibrary

Suite Teardown    Close All Browsers 

*** Test Cases ***
Wait And Click succesfully
    Open Browser    http://google.com    HeadlessChrome
    Wait and Click Element    name:q    This should work

Wait And Click unsuccesfully
    Open Browser    http://google.com    HeadlessChrome
    Wait and Click Element    name:nobtn      This should not work

*** Keywords ***
Wait and Click Element
    [Arguments]    ${locator}    ${message}=None

    ${status}    Run Keyword And Return Status
    ...                Wait Until Keyword Succeeds  
    ...                    5 times  2 sec  
    ...                    Click Element   ${locator}

    Run Keyword If    
    ...    "${status}" == "False"
    ...    Fail     ${message}
