Summary
This PR updates
Table Footer Should Containto find text in both<td>and<th>cells inside<tfoot>.Motivation
A table footer can use a
<th>cell for a label like “Total.” The keyword currently searches only<td>cells, so it fails even when the expected text is present.Implementation
I updated the footer locator and keyword documentation. I also added an HTML fixture with
<th>cells in the header, body, and footer so the tests can verify that only footer text matches.Tests
The five new acceptance tests cover both footer cell types and verify that text in the header, body, or another table’s footer does not match. The footer
<th>test failed before the fix and passed afterward.git diff --checkpassed.Files Changed
