JUnit gives ComparisonFailure although actual and expected are the same

I am trying to parse a string from a website using Jsoup and wrote the following test to verify that the parsing

This is my test:

@Test
public void extractBookData() throws Exception {
    String bookLink = ""; //some address
    Document doc = Jsoup.connect(bookLink).get().html();

    Book book = new Book();

    assertEquals("Literatür Yayıncılık", book.getPublisher(doc));
}

This is getPublisher(Element) method:

public String getPublisher(Element element){
    String tableRowSelector = "tr:contains(Yayınevi)";
    String tableColumnSelector = "td";
    String tableRowData = "";
    element = element.select(tableRowSelector).last();
    if (element != null) {
          element = element.select(tableColumnSelector).last();
          if (element != null) {
                tableRowData = element.text().replaceAll(tableRow.getRowName() + " ?:", "").replaceAll(tableRow.getRowName() + " :?", "").replaceAll(" ?: ?", "").trim();
          }
    }
    return tableRowData;
}

Comparison failure window suggests that everything is different

The problem is that the actual and expected strings appears the same even though JUnit tells otherwise.

I am open to your suggestions please.

I have had this same issue before, this is a non-breaking space (char 160) wich is in your text instead of a space (char 32). In my case the text came from an html text input value, yours looks like it hes also come from html.

The solution I used was just too replace all non breaking space chars with a space.
