Test Timeout 60 minutes
*** Test Cases ***
Test title
${TEST_TIMEOUT1} set variable 120
log to console ${TEST_TIMEOUT1}
[Timeout] ${TEST_TIMEOUT1} minutes
I am trying to update the default Test Timeout of 60 minutes with Test case time [TIMEOUT]
with variable ${TEST_TIMEOUT1}
.
I want to use a variable instead of hard-coded value.
with hard-coded value [TIMEOUT]
is working fine.But facing below error if i use test case variable substitution
Setting test timeout failed: Variable '${TEST_TIMEOUT1}
' not found.
Can you help how to fix this issue.

The problem is that
*** Test Cases ***
Test title
${TEST_TIMEOUT1} set variable 120
log to console ${TEST_TIMEOUT1}
[Timeout] ${TEST_TIMEOUT1} minutes
is not executed in this order. [Timeout]
belongs to the test case setting, so it's executed before those first two lines. It's setting after all, so it makes sense to execute it first and then run the actual test steps.
Solution is easy, define ${TEST_TIMEOUT1}
outside the test case, for example:
*** Settings ***
Test Timeout 60 minutes
*** Variables ***
${TEST_TIMEOUT1}= 120 minutes
*** Test Cases ***
Test title
[Timeout] ${TEST_TIMEOUT1}
Then the default timeout will be 60 minutes, but in Test title it will be overriden and value of 120 minutes will be used.
