title: Can Robot Framework Support External Variables?
body: <p>I am trying to create a central file that houses all the variables that we use in our test cases (for instance, the ${BROWSER} variable).</p>
  
  <p>I have also created a central file for a lot of custom defined keywords and I am trying to use the central variable file as a resource for the central keywords file...modularization so to speak</p>
  
  <p>The keywords however do not run as the variables from the central file are not being recognized. </p>
  
  <p>So my question is, has anyone achieved calling external variables in a RF test resource/case successfully? And if so, could you please explain how you did it?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
