There's an open page, I have no clue where the error message comes from.

    Is that the actual and full source? If so, you have an `[Arguments]` in a test case section, which is out of place; it may be causing the error. – Todor Minakov Oct 21 '21 at 18:02

If this is your actual code, the line that begins with [Arguments] ${Date} is considered to be the name of a test case since it is at the left margin. Inside that test case you haven't opened a browser, hence the error.
