Nested Jekyll for loop not detecting 'contains'

I've got a nested for loop which is checking to see if a file path name matches a piece of front-matter in one of my posts. The trouble I'm having is that for whatever reason the if statement isn't working, even though I can print both file.path and post.assets right before the if statement, any idea why this isn't working?

{% for post in site.posts limit:3 %}
  urlsToCache.push("{{ post.url }}")
  {% for file in site.static_files %}
    {% if file.path contains '{{ post.assets }}' %}
      urlsToCache.push("{{ file.path }}")
    {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

If printed right before I have the following which leads me to believe {% if file.path contains '{{ post.assets }}' %} should work, but it's not. 

jekyll-sw
/assets/posts/jekyll-sw/montezuma_sw.jpg

Help would be appreciated!

When accessing a variable inside an if statement avoid surrounding them with curly braces, it can be accessed directly like:

{% if file.path contains post.assets %}
 urlsToCache.push("{{ file.path }}")
 {% endif %}
