match keyword in not working properly

[ajitqait]

Scenario: Demo purpose
Given def a = 'false' // String
And print a
And def b = false //boolean
Then match a == b //should be failed

Actual: passed(a==b) but when swap 'a' and 'b' then it is failed(b==a)(in this case working fine)
expected: it should be failed.

@ajitqait I haven't read your issue. you have to follow this process: https://github.com/intuit/karate/wiki/How-to-Submit-an-Issue

Yes I am too facing this type of issue using match
Scenario: Validate the test
Given string a = 3
And def b = 3
And match a == b

The scenario is passed instead of getting failed and I am not able to refer any reference link for help

@guptanatya thank you - that is a much better example

this is normally never used because match is designed for JSON. for example this will fail as you expect:

* def foo = { a: '3' }
* def bar = { a: 3 }
* match foo == bar

that said, I will look into the bug you have raised, but I don't consider it a priority at all.

you can use assert and it will work exactly as you expect. any questions ?

Given string a = 3
And def b = 3
And assert a === b
