Description
The test for
/search/places
was recently made stricter by checking that the top result is the most relevant. However, it's actually not guaranteed to be the first result as Paris and Paris Leona are tied in score. The reason for this is that the latter has null foradmin2Name
, which gets coalesced to 0 (a perfect match). This PR sets null values to have a score of 0.1 to avoid rewarding a lack of data.How Has This Been Tested?
Tested that the order for this is now deterministic and the test does not flake.
