A step's list always starts with an empty cell

[jaloren]

When I iterate through a set of test case steps, each step's list starts with an empty cell. Note this empty item precedes the first cell in the actual robotframework table. Expectation would be that first cell contain the first 'real' item in the row.

Example output from rflint when iterating through steps.

(5-5)[u'', u'Log', u'this is a test case.']
(6-6)[u'']
(8-8)[u'', u'@{VALUES}=', u'Create List', u'1', u'2', u'4']
(9-9)[u'', u':FOR', u'${var}', u'IN', u'@{VALUES}']
(10-10)[u'', u'\\', u'Log', u'${var}']

Here is the test case table it was iterating through.

*** Test Cases ***

test case one
    [tags]   logging  bar
    Log   this is a test case.

test case two
    @{VALUES}=  Create List   1   2   4
    :FOR    ${var}  IN  @{VALUES}
    \   Log  ${var}

This is by design. The first cell in a table has the test case or keyword name. The body statements always start in the second cell.
