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

Tommy,

I am afraid I do not quite follow you. The assert seems to work all right, far as I can say:

===
1029 ocs /tmp> <q.groovy                            
def msg="'LAZY DEVELOPER! This is a test'"
assert msg == "'" +"LAZY DEVELOPER! This is a test" + "'"
println 'all ok'
1030 ocs /tmp> /usr/local/groovy-4.0.21/bin/groovy q
all ok
1031 ocs /tmp> 
===

Do I overlook something of importance here?

All the best,
OC
