Strange behavior with equal

[GM-Alex]

If I use

body.should.be.equal({response: 'ok'});

to test if a response returns the right content, the test fails because it says the result is not identical, but they are. Here is the error:

AssertionError: expected { response: 'ok' } to be { response: 'ok' }

And here the expected

{
  "response": "ok"
}

and the given return value

{
  "response": "ok"
}

Which are obviously the same.

.equal inside it is ===, which of cause will not work for deep comparison. You need to use .eql there which do deep comparison.

@btd Didn't notice that. Many thanks for your help.
