[FIXED] How to run if if else condition based on element visibility in selenium robot framework?

Issue

I am automating a user registration form flow, where successful registration shows a success message and any validation error throws alert text. For this, I am writing an if-else flow based on the visibility or presence of an element on the page. I will pass the control to a specific keyword with that condition

${SuccessBreadcrumb} is the element which is visible when the registration is successful

Code Snippet

*** Settings ***
Library  SeleniumLibrary

*** Variables ***
${SuccessBreadcrumb} =  xpath=//a[contains(text(),'Success')]
${SuccessMsgLocator} =  xpath=//p[contains(text(), 'successfully created')]
${AlertMsg} =  xpath=//div[@class='text-danger']

*** Keywords ***
Verify Validation Message
    [Arguments]  ${UserDetails}
    sleep  2s
    run keyword if  ${SuccessBreadcrumb}  is visible  Keyword 1
#   ...  else  Keyword 2


Keyword 1
    [Arguments]  ${UserDetails}
    ${AccountCreatedText} =  get text  ${SuccessMsgLocator}
    should contain  ${AccountCreatedText}  ${UserDetails.ValidateMsg}  ignore_case=true

# Keyword 2

Error Log

Run Keyword If ${SuccessBreadcrumb}, is visible, VerifySuccessText
Documentation:  
Runs the given keyword with the given arguments, if condition is true.

Solution

In the documentation for Run Keyword If there does not exist an example with an object. However, using a combination of Run Keyword If with Run Keyword And Return Status will allow you to create a way to handle pass and fail situations within the same test case or keyword.

*** Test Cases ***
Check Element Visible
    Open Browser
    ...    url=https://www.google.com
    ...    browser=chrome

    ${passed}    Run Keyword And Return Status  
                 ...    Element Should Be Visible    xpath://*[@id="hplogo"]
    Run Keyword If     ${passed}       Keyword Passed
    ...    ELSE                        Keyword Failed
    [Teardown]    Close Browser

Check Element Not Visible
