For JS: Moving all usages of Proxy from class constructor to getters helped me.

  const inspect = Symbol.for('nodejs.util.inspect.custom');
  // ...
  toString() {
    return "321";
  }
  get [Symbol.toStringTag]() {
    return 'Validator';
  }
  [inspect]() {
    return "123";
  }

doesn't solve the problem

If the grammar was different, such cases would be handled! But you're right, I could have added \b.

Symbol.toStringTag is passed into an object when Object.prototype.toString of that object is called:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol/toStringTag

So you'll need to handle this case as well.

Edit: In addition, Node itself uses util.inspect.custom symbol when inspecting objects:

https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_inspect_custom

I didn't do the JS translation but I can tell you that Symbol is not used anywhere in the reference solution.

It would be good to know whether or not this is a chai incompatibility error, or whether it is a requirement for the task that Thing not have anything using Symbols...:hmm?

Yup, I too am at this point.

I'm facing with error something like your. In Browser everything working good. Sad that I spent many time for all tests are passed, and can't finish this kata :(

jane = new Thing("Jane") creates a new object

I'm experiencing the same issue.

I'm going to keep working on the rest of the kata, but unless this is resolved I won't be able to submit it - so I hope I'm not setting myself up for disappointment!

I'm facing the same issue. This assertion has some trouble on codewars, but it passes on my machine with node v6.10.3 and chai v3.5.0.
I have also translated the tests to run them with should (v11.1.2) instead of chai, and again, everything is ok.
Maybe a problem with an old chai version?
