How to inject Custom Type Hints & Custom Type Converters?

[maksym-silenko]

Hi there!

Do we have a guide on how to teach robotframework & robotcode new types? Is it even possible?

I could be wrong in a terminology. So, to better understand me, here is a case:

*** Keywords ***
Do Something Cool
    [Arguments]    ${value: MyCustomType}
    No Operation

Line 3 raises an error:

Invalid variable '${value: MyCustomType}': Unrecognized type 'MyCustomType'.robotcode(ModelError)

Just in case, my versions:

Robot Framework 7.4.1 (Python 3.11.15 on darwin)

Identifier    d-biehl.robotcode
Version    2.7.0

I assume it's possible, but unfortunately I haven't found any clear guide on how to make it work, except of AI suggestions that actually did not work for me😅

@d-biehl highly appreciate your tips.
