+Get Log File Name
+ [Arguments] ${testtool} ${testcase}=${EMPTY}
+ [Documentation] Get the name of the suite sanitized to be usable as a part of filename.
+ ... These names are used to constructs names of the log files produced
+ ... by the testing tools so two suites using a tool wont overwrite the
+ ... log files if they happen to run in one job.

+ ${suffix}= BuiltIn.Set_Variable_If '${testcase}' != '' --${testcase} ${EMPTY}
+ [Return] ${testtool}--${name}${suffix}.log

+Set_User_Configurable_Variable_Default
+ [Arguments] ${name} ${value}
+ [Documentation] Set a default value for an user configurable variable.
+ ... This keyword is needed if your default value is calculated using
+ ... a complex expression which needs BuiltIn.Evaluate or even more
+ ... complex keywords. It sets the variable ${name} (the name of the
+ ... variable MUST be specified WITHOUT the ${} syntactic sugar due
+ ... to limitations of Robot Framework) to ${value} but only if the
+ ... variable ${name} was not set previously. This keyword is intended
+ ... for user configurable variables which are supposed to be set only
+ ... with pybot -v; calling this keyword on a variable that was already
+ ... set by another keyword will silently turn the call into a NOP and
+ ... thus is a bug in the suite or resource trying to call this
+ ... keyword.
+ # TODO: Figure out how to make the ${value} evaluation "lazy" (meaning
+ # evaluating it only when the user did not set anything and thus the
+ # default is needed). This might be needed to avoid potentially costly
+ # keyword invocations when they are not needed. Currently no need for
+ # this was identified, thus leaving it here as a TODO. Based on
+ # comments the best approach would be to create another keyword that
+ # expects a ScalarClosure in the place of ${value} and calls the
+ # closure to get the value but only if the value is needed).
+ # The best idea how to implement this "laziness" would be to have the
+ # used to define another keyword that will be responsible for getting
+ # the default value and then passing the name of this getter keyword
+ # to this keyword. Then this keyword would call the getter (to obtain
+ # the expensive default value) only if it discovers that this value
+ # is really needed (because the variable is not set yet).
+ # TODO: Is the above TODO really necessary? Right now we don't have any
+ # examples of "expensive default values" where to obtain the default
+ # value is so expensive on resources (e.g. need to SSH somewhere to
+ # check something) that we would want to skip the calculation if the
+ # variable for which it is needed has a value already provided by the
+ # user using "pybot -v" or something. One example would be
+ # JAVA_HOME if it would be designed as user-configurable variable
+ # (currently it is not; users can specify "use jdk7" or "use jdk8"
+ # but not "use the jdk over there"; and there actually is no JAVA_HOME
+ # present in the resource, rather the Java invocation command uses the
+ # Java invocation with a full path). The default value of JAVA_HOME
+ # has to be obtained by issuing commands on the SSH connection where
+ # the resulting Java invocation command will be used (to check
+ # multiple candidate paths until one that fits is found) and we could
+ # skip all this checking if a JAVA_HOME was supplied by the user using
+ # "pybot -v".

+Convert_To_Minutes
+ [Arguments] ${time}
+ [Documentation] Convert a Robot time string to an integer expressing the time in minutes, rounded up
+ ... This is a wrapper around DateTime.Convert_Time which does not
+ ... provide this functionality directly nor is even able to produce
+ ... an integer directly. It is needed for RestPerfClient which
+ ... cannot accept floats for its --timeout parameter and interprets
+ ... the value supplied in this parameter in minutes.
