verifyRows

When used on a <table>, the verifyRows command compares the contents of the table with the contents of a collection, and reports similarities, differences and missing or surplus rows.

The expression must return something Iterable (e.g. a Collection). By default, the contents of the table must be in the same order as the collection, but this can be overridden with different strategies for matching rows.

Example

<table concordion:verifyRows="#username : usernames"> 
    <tr>
        <th concordion:assertEquals="#username">Username</th> 
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>bpeep</td> 
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>jspratt</td> 
    </tr>
</table>

usernames Collection	Results in Rows Marked As
`bpeep, jspratt`	SUCCESS, SUCCESS
`jspratt, bpeep`	FAILURE, FAILURE
`hdumpty, jspratt`	FAILURE, SUCCESS
`bpeep`	SUCCESS, MISSING
`bpeep, jspratt, ppan`	SUCCESS, SUCCESS, SURPLUS
`rhood, jspratt, ppan, mdaw`	FAILURE, SUCCESS, SURPLUS, SURPLUS
