The keyword should compare results of two SQL queries and show the difference.
The arguments would be like query_1, query_2 and assert_results_equal (True or False).
If False, there is no assertion - just show print the difference in the RF log.
Both queries must deliver the same columns - same numbers and the same names.
It has to be implemented in the queries themselves.
The output should look like a merged table
- The columns are the same, they're merged (no duplicated cols like Col_A_Query_1 and Col_A_Query_2 - just Col_A).
- The cells with not equal values should get a red background and contain both values like
Value 1 != Value 2.
- The column name and the row number with a cell with unequal values shall be highlighted as well.
- And maybe keep them visible during the scrolling (sticky scroll)?
- All other cells with equal values should be either not highlighted at all or get a green background maybe.
Apart from the visual highlighting, there should be an assertion to provide the keyword status and the error message
- The error message should not include all details, but maybe a number of rows and column names? Like this: X rows had differences in cols A, B and C?
The very first check though should be the comparison of row number in results
- If they are unequal, there should be an error message (without details) - and an additional visual output.
- Visually, it would be maybe nice to print both tables aside and highlight rows, which exist in one of the results only - in green and red, like git merge style?
- No further assertions are performed in this case.
