`differs from` not strict

[0xspade]

I have a bcheck script which has a following line:

if {base.response.body} differs from {latest.response.body} then

supposedly, it should only report if there's changes in response body. However, what's happening was there's still a report if there's a change in response headers.

Hi.

The {X} differs from {Y} conditional compares full responses. Even if you provide it with a fragment of a response, like body, the diffing will still be done on the full response.

Instead of using this, you should use not({X} is {Y}).

We've raised a feature request to adjust the validation to make this distinction clearer.

This is helpful. I'll try this one.
