Reference vs value equality?

@RememberMe Nope. Strings.Just comparing strings after a Regex replace. I already surmise that there is a non-breaking space in the result. But still.

Should have your test output byte values instead of strings when the comparison fails. 🤷‍♂️

@kwilliams I can back this up. it's pretty useful

It's learning... It expected fire as in combustion and flames but instead was given fire as in to terminate an employee

So lexically they don't match.

Maybe one string has some unprintable character?

I sometimes mess up in the terminal and and up having some weird character in a seemingly ok command.

@seraphimsystems 😆😆 love that

@kwilliams I'll give that a shot ;) Thanks for the suggestion!

@Kairpooph ... so what was the problem? Don't leave us hanging!

@eo2875 There's a zero-width space in the string. Normally you'd see this come up as \u8203 when logging the string but apparently for the regex you should be looking for the hex which is \u200B.

Thank goodness there's always someone who's got the same issue on SO lol https://stackoverflow.com/questions...

@Kairpooph that why we have our testing strings like this:

@coffeeholic Shouldly for .NET is a fantastic library.

@kwilliams thanks! I used this kind of assertion in golang but I have a c# project coming up.
