We have functionality that allows the user to search on a description for a product.
I'm grabbing the product description from a database like so: Company® Some Product . It's searching for the product correctly and returning the expected results: item id, product description. I want to assert that the product description has been returned, and it's failing with the error of: expected "103481 Company\u00AE Some Productt\r\n\r\n\r\n1 items found." to include "Company® Some Product" The issue i'm trying to overcome is that the program coverts ® into the ® in the text that watir is asserting on, which is why it's failing. I was thinking of substituting the '®' into something that watir/ruby reads but subsituting '\u00AE' or '®' is producing errors. It hasn't happened yet, but i will probably run across similar issues with by trademark and copyright symbols as well. thanks. -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
