778759 - ConsString == java.lang.String issue

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Rhino Graveyard :: Core, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
Build ID: 20120717144020

Steps to reproduce:

This happens with Rhino 1.7R4.

It seems like string comparisons using the "==" operator are incorrect if the ConsString internal object is used to represent the string.

See the example script below:

var a = "str"
var b = "str"

var test1 = a + b

var test2 = "strstr"

var test3 = new java.lang.String("strstr")




Actual results:

test1 == test2 //= true
test1 == test3 //= false
test2 == test3 //= true


Expected results:

test1 == test2 //= true
test1 == test3 //= true
test2 == test3 //= true

I was too quick to jump to conclusions... The above seems to work in Rhino shell, but doesn't in my scenarios...
