Exception passing a header value to request library Create Session












2















I have the following in my Robotframework keyword:



${headers}=  Set Variable  {"Content-Type": "application/json"}

Create Session  sample  ${url}  headers=${headers}  disable_warnings=1


But I'm getting the following error in Create session.



ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)


This is not working only for this header. I have tried using 



{"Content-Type": "application${/}json"}


which didnt help.






python json robotframework

          What you obviously tried to do is to create a dictionary (to pass as a headers argument), but that's not the way to accomplish this in Robotframework.

          The keyword Set Variable creates a var of type string if you pass an argument that is string-like - it does not deduct that you tried to create a dictionary just by the presence of the curly brackets.



          This is how you can create a real dictionary (a dict (sub)type in python):



          ${headers}=    Create Dictionary    Content-Type=application/json


          When you pass this variable to Create Session it now will be a proper dict, and the keyword shouldn't fail because of that.



          Create Session    sample    ${url}    headers=${headers}    disable_warnings=1
