TypeError: String.specialChar is undefined

[Szczepan Faber]

Hi,

I've got a long String (big, fat multiline String) and I was not able
to use assertEqual for it because of this error:

TypeError: String.specialChar is undefined

Not sure why, maybe because I'm using jQuery to get the string to
assertEqual: $('#myTextArea').text()

There are 2 workaround for this. Either I do:

assertEqual(new String(expected), new String(actual));

or I change the jsunittest.js file:

//var character = String.specialChar[match[0]];
var character = match[0];

So far I chose the latter because this way my tests are more readable.
I figured out you wanted to know about my issue :)

jsunitest is cool!

Cheers,
Szczepan

Hmm, I'm not sure where String.specialChar originally comes from nor what bad things happen if we stop using it :)

Hello.

String.specialChar is a translattion table coming from the prototype
library.

The problem it's been resolved on the "jsunittest" project for some
time, maybe the version used on the newjs gem has not been updated?

Best.

Ok I've released newjs 1.7.4 with latest jsunittest.js files.
