"Table Should Contain" does not work properly

Example code: *** Settings *** Library SeleniumLibrary #4.0.0

*** Variables *** ${url} https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp ${customer_table} //table[@id=‘customers’]

*** Test Cases *** Sample test Open Browser ${url} browser=chrome Maximize browser window Element Should Be Visible ${customer_table} Table Should Contain ${customer_table} Each

Expected behavior and actual behavior

Expected: FAIL Actual: PASS

If there is given text on the page and even I provide ID of table for this keyword, then this keyword returns True. (table does not contain text) Table Should Contain is useless in that case because I can also use Page Should Contain to find text on the page. In my project, I have two tables on the page where one record is moved to the second table and I need to verify that.

Already fixed locally. Bug also revealed that that there is many other bugs in the same class and I am fixing all of those.

Found the bug, it is in table element finder and Selenium documentation explains why it happens. Good catch, it has been there since 3.0 release.
