Re: String comparison tests on exception messages keep failing due to >'< character keeps getting removed!

Hi Tommy,

This works:

class Library {
    boolean someLibraryMethod() {
        throw new RuntimeException("'" + "LAZY DEVELOPER! This is a test" + "'")
    }
    boolean someOtherLibraryMethod() {
        throw new RuntimeException("'LAZY DEVELOPER! This is a test'")
    }
}

class LibraryTest extends Specification {

    def lib = new Library()

    def "someLibraryMethod returns true"() {
        when:
        def result = lib.someLibraryMethod()

        then:
        def e = thrown(RuntimeException)
        e.message == "'" + "LAZY DEVELOPER! This is a test" + "'"
        e.message == "'LAZY DEVELOPER! This is a test'"
    }

    def "someOtherLibraryMethod returns true"() {
        when:
        def result = lib.someOtherLibraryMethod()

        then:
        def e = thrown(RuntimeException)
        e.message == "'" + "LAZY DEVELOPER! This is a test" + "'"
        e.message == "'LAZY DEVELOPER! This is a test'"
    }
}

With Java 21 (21.0.3-tem) and Groovy 4.0.21
