This was testing (potentially) things with multiple * before, like a "prefix" 123*45* (and I think the assertions were correct too?); are we sure this is not something we want to test?

If prefix was *a then pattern would be *a*
That works (logically) for the matches
*a*matches*a*a*matches*a+ random
But it breaks the logic for the non-matches
For example:
assertNonMatch(pattern, prefix.substring(1));
That would test ("*a*" , "a") which would match, when it is not supposed to.
The intent of that test is that prefix is a literal (e.g. ab) so that ab* does not match b

Ah I see, there are randoms for which the test would fail.
Seems fair, if we feel the need for a test with multiple * we can add it explicitly, and be more precise in these prefix/suffix tests.

Why is the range in these tests randomIntBetween(2, 12)? That seems an odd choice that explicitly avoids an important corner case: shouldn't 1 also work? And, what's the benefit from testing lengths greater than 2? I think we ought to use something more like randomIntBetween(1,2) here.

@JVerwolf - confirmed, it does fix all those tests. |
