Robot Framework + AutoIt: Dictionary does not contain key

Question

I am currently toying around with the AutoIt library for Robot Framework, so I'm doing the typical "my first" Robot GUI test and testing the Calculator! Unfortunately my below code generates the error: Dictionary does not contain key 'View Scientific'.. This occurs in the Start Calculator keyword. It seems that whenever I call Select Calculator Menu Item I get an error.

What is the reason for this keyword generating errors?

Thanks in advance.

"Dictionary does not contain key 'View Scientific'" should be pretty self-explanatory. You're trying to use the key "View Scientific" as a key to a dictionary, and that dictionary doesn't have that key.

In your case you have a dictionary named ${MENUMAP} that apparently does not have the key "View Scientific". You need to figure out why your map is missing this key. A simple thing to do is to log the dictionary, which will tell you what keys it has.
