Testing Nancy module with nUnit fails assert when testing HttpStatusCode

I'm trying to write tests for a Nancy project. I've stripped my test back to bare basics but am still getting a seemingly bizarre result.

The module:

public class HomeModule : BaseModule
{
    public HomeModule(IUserMapper mapper)
    {
        Get["/"] = "Hello, world!";
    }
}

The test:

[Test]
public void Home_Index_should_return_response_OK()
{
    var result = GetBrowser().Get("/", with => with.HttpRequest());

    Assert.AreEqual(HttpStatusCode.OK, result.StatusCode);
}

The assert fails with this message:

Expected: OK
But was: OK

WTF? Both results are of type HttpStatusCode and value "OK". If I add .GetValue() or .ToString() to them both, the assert passes but it feels vary hack-y and something something 'code smell'.

At first I thought it might be a quirk with nUnit and testing enums but when I try something like this:

var value = ActionTargets.Suite;
Assert.AreEqual(ActionTargets.Suite,value);

it passes fine.

Argggh.... I've been ReShafted..

I just found this at the top of the file which I'm certain I didn't put there myself.

using HttpStatusCode = System.Net.HttpStatusCode;

Lesson to be learned here: don't blindly rely on tooling to do your thinking for you.
