Pass a list as expected_status

[gkeishin]

When targeting GET on a URI if its not found / internal server error results in exception HTTPError , I can use the expected_status to override it however, it would be great if that accepts multiple values

expected_status=400,500,200

Other use cases like where example,

GET On Session  /xyz/somepath/uri   expected_status=xxx

it would raise the HTTPError if expected_status is not used and errors out

if the expected state mismatched, it raise exception as well

Url: https://xx.xx.xx.xx:443/xyz/openbmc_project/dump/ Expected status: 200 != 404

we would love to have the response than handle the exception in robot caller test code/scripts.

Thanks for the suggestion of passing multiple expected values, it could be an enhancement. I'm not sure I understood this instead:

If I understand properly you could specify expected_status='any' and then evaluate the response.

Right for improvement.. for instance, say may be a string or list of values

expected_status=[400, 500]

or

expected_status=200, 201

something in that line which user can input. this gives us the flexibility to be able to anticipate multiple valid return codes from the server.

plus if it doesn't get the expected status, we would want to get return response if errors/mismatched execrated status and not exception which is currently happening.

example:

resp=  GET On Session  /xyz/somepath/uri   expected_status=201

resp we would want this response if it errors/mismatched, but currently its throwing exception and not proceeding further a.

As said you could pass 'any' as expected status in order not to let the keyword fail.
