issue with for loops in robot framework - python-3.x

Question

I am new to Robot Framework and I am trying to implement a for loop where I want to loop through and store all the text values of all a tags.
But I am only able to get the text of one single a tag.
This is my code:
*** Settings ***
Library SeleniumLibrary
*** Variables ***
${url} http://www.practiceselenium.com/practice-form.html
*** Test Cases ***
ExtractLinks
alllinks
close browser
*** Keywords ***
allLinks
open browser ${url}
${allLinksCount} get element count xpath://a
log to console ${allLinksCount}
FOR ${i} IN 1 ${allLinksCount}
${linkText} get text xpath:(//a)[${i}]
log to console ${linkText}
END
This is the output:
==============================================================================
getAllLinks
==============================================================================
ExtractLinks 10
More
ExtractLinks | PASS |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
getAllLinks | PASS |
1 test, 1 passed, 0 failed
==============================================================================
So there are 10 a tags on the page, but only one is shown, "More" in the output to the console.
Is it all possible to gather all a link text in list instead?

Answer 1

FOR ${i} IN 1 ${allLinksCount} is equivalent to the python code for i in (1, 10). In other words, it will loop exactly twice.
If you're wanting to iterate over the range of numbers between 1 and ${allLinksCount} you should use IN RANGE.
Because xpath counts starting with one instead of zero, you'll need to adjust the numbers slightly:
FOR ${i} IN RANGE 1 ${allLinksCount}+1
${linkText} get text xpath:(//a)[${i}]
log to console ${linkText}
END
-or-
FOR ${i} IN RANGE ${allLinksCount}
${linkText} get text xpath:(//a)[${i+1}]
log to console ${linkText}
END
