Dumping global variables in Robot Framework when a test fails?

Question

I have a doubtful pleasure to work with legacy tests written in Robot Framework that abuse usage of global variables.

I would like all global variables to be dumped when the test fails.

How can I achieve that?

You can call the built-in keyword Log Variables in a suite teardown or test teardown.

Here's an example that uses a suite teardown:

*** Settings ***
Suite Teardown log variables
*** Test cases ***
Test case 1
 set global variable ${FOO} Hello
 set global variable ${BAR} World
 Fail
