Tables & List comparison

In some cases it’s interesting to check the validity of a list returned by a test method

 

Tmar has four operators to compare a returned list with a table content :

 

in

orderedIn

match

orderedIn

 

In this expression , “?” is the returned list and @tableName the table content

 

? in @countries

? orderedIn @countries

? match @countries

? orderedIn @countries

 

With in and orderedIn, the result list has to be a subset of the referenced table

With match and orderedMatch, both must have the same number of lines

 

The “?” can also be put at the right of the expression.

In that case, with in and orderedIn operators, the referenced table has to be a subset of the result list 

 

@countries in ?

@countries orderedIn ?

some cases

Example with error display

In this example the test returns the same List for each iteration 

[ code | name   |

|  BR  | Brazil |

|  FR  | France |

 

It's an unsorted subset of countries table
