Couldn't understand RSpec expectation error

I am getting this ExpectationNotMetError in my cucumber/watir test,

How to tell the difference?

RSpec::Expectations::ExpectationNotMetError:

expected: "Limits as usual \u0393\u00C7\u00F6 Limits in perspective /\u256B\u00C6\u256B\u00E6\u256B\u00F2\u256B\u00A3\u256B\u00F2\u256B\u00AC\u256B\u00D6\u256B\u00F6 \u256B\u2310\u256B\u00A3 \u256B\u00C9\u256B\u00D6\u256B\u00A3\u256B\u00D6\u256B\u00F6 \u256B\u00BA\u256B\u00F1\u256B\u00D6\u256B\u00FF\u256B\u00F2\u256B\u00A3\u256B\u00D6\u256B\u00E1\u256B\u00F6 \u0393\u00C7\u00F6 \u256B\u20A7\u256B\u00E6\u256B\u00FF \u256B\u20A7\u256B\u00E6\u256B\u00AC\u256B\u00D6 \u256B\u00F6\u256B\u00BA\u256B\u00E6\u256B\u00BF\u256B\u00F2\u256B\u00AC"

Solution

  • The string you are testing contains "\u 2014" but your test expects the string not to contain that. As a result, the test is failing on the expectation.

    To simplify:

    expected: "............" got "......2014......"
