Function definitions stop working after sometime

[sgmace]

I am on pycharm community edition. I loaded a robot project. Initially I was able to jump to function declarations and back. It stopped working after sometime

[sgmace]

i get the message "Cannot find declaration to go to" when i try to jump to declaration.

Can you please provide a sample project where this does not work?

Anyway jump to declaration is currently supported just for keywords defined
in robot files.

Cheers
Valerio

I kind of nailed down the issue. In my robot files i have the following code.

---

*** Settings ***
Test Timeout 10 minutes

Resource ${top_level_dir}/resources/configs/MyResources.robot

*** Variables ***
${top_level_dir} %{DEV_ROOT}/tools/test/robot

*** Keywords ***

---

If i remove the path portion from the code (${top_level_dir}/resources/configs) i am able to fetch the keywords in MyResources.robot. I will need to access keywords in resources from testcase directory.

How can i make it work without removing the path?

Your use case is far from being easily implemented in the plugin. The plugin would need to know the value of the DEV_ROOT env variable and resolve the value of the top_level_dir variable. This information is available only at runtime.

I would suggest you to use relative paths to reference the resources if possible, like:
Resource ../../resources/configs/MyResources.robot

If that is not possible I would suggest you to put resources in the module search path and then add each path as source path in pycharm.
