How to use "Run Keywork If" and "Get Element Attribute" in RobotFramework

Question

I am checking if my element exists, it it does then get "@class" attribute if that element. I am not sure How to do this.

Here is my code

${disabled}=|Set Variable|NONE
${elementPresent}| Is Element Present| ${LOCATOR}
Run Keyword If|"${elementPresent}" == "True"|${disabled}=|Get Element Attribute ${LOCATOR}@class

Here it gives me error that "NONE" is not keyword. Can someone help me here.

is this literally your code? You don't have enough whitespace surrounding your pipes. — Bryan Oakley

Quick attempt so have a play until I get back online, I think this happens when it's not hitting your check. The below is how I'd clean it up:

${disabled}=    {FALSE}
${elementPresent}| Is Element Present| ${LOCATOR}
${disabled}=    Run Keyword If|${elementPresent}|Get Element Attribute ${LOCATOR}@class

Let me know what happens. I'm guessing elementPresent will contain only true or false?

Ah sorry I just read further, so basically your NONE is screwing things up. I would change the value as above.

This worked. It was not working due to some error.

${disabled}=|Run Keyword If|"${elementPresent}" == "True"|Get Element Attribute |${LOCATOR}@class

Please accept the answer in that case. Regarding "${elementPresent}" == "True", this is redundant. as I gave in my example you can just do Run Keyword If | ${elementPresent} This essentially means, run if true. Following my example you default it to false instead of having NONE

I believe your error is that you had the target of your assignment (${disabled}) after Run Keyword If. The target must always precede the first keyword on the line. You should accept @schicky's answer.
