How can this occur?

This is output from an RSpec test...

       expected: /<(?<tag>([[:alpha:]])+)>(?<cdata>(.)*)<\/\k<tag>>/
                 got: /<(?<tag>([[:alpha:]])+)>(?<cdata>(.)*)<\/\k<tag>>/
(using ==)

Any clue what I'm missing here?

Thanks,
Hal

Gives a good clue == vs #to_s/#inspect (visual inspection) may produce
different results. So you probably want to use #to_s or #inspect and then
test the strings.

check the encodings

This is why minitest says the following:

                      "No visible difference in the #{klass}#inspect output.\n",
                      "You should look at the implementation of #== on ",
                      "#{klass} or its members.\n",
