I have a Robot Framework test case that makes use of the following variable:
${download_dir} C:\\users\\myProfile\\Downloads
How can I change this so that it always points to the Downloads folder on any computer? It is assumed that the test cases will only be run on Windows computers.
To simplify the link I sent to the comment section:
*** Settings ***
Library OperatingSystem
*** Test Cases ***
Get User Home
${user_home}= Get Environment Variable UserProfile
Log To Console ${user_home}\\Downloads
In Windows, there's UserProfile environment variable that resolves to e.g. C:\Users\PavelSaman, so you can just get its value in RF and append \Donwloads to it.
