string not getting compare

function ApplyFirmware()
{
NameMapping.Sys.browser.pagePlus1Connect2.panelRoot.panel.panel.link.panel.Click();
NameMapping.Sys.browser.pagePlus1Connect6.link.button.Click();
let currentfirmware = NameMapping.Sys.browser.pagePlus1Connect2.panelRoot.textnode4.contentText;
Log.Message(currentfirmware);
Log.Message(Project.Variables.RC1);
Delay(2000);
if(currentfirmware == Project.Variables.RC1)
{
Log.Message(currentfirmware);
}
else
{
Log.Message("fsfgsd");
}
}

 

 

output is:

variables are not getting compared but if you look into the output screenshot both variables contains the same string but still its not getting into if loop.

Can you please help me with it.

    Hi,

     

    Try to check the length of both variables to ensure that none of them contains trailing spaces, carriage returns, etc.

      Sometimes some invisible characters exists as well as unicode encoding or even html tags, if the version is read from web page, i suspect hidden html hidden .. So as AlexKaras  checking the length will give a clue if it's a plain old string or hidden characters.

    Perhaps because you need to get the variable value with Project.Variables.VariableByName(name)) ?

     

    Sometimes a plain old global variable object in top of project is enough avoiding use of nice-functiunnalities-but-not-needed syndrom 😉

      Project.Variables.VariableByName(name))  is also not working.
