Okay. After further investigation. The kata is correct even in the test. A little more investigation on your part will reveal why. After using the print function to find out that those words weren't in the minor_words string. It made sense why it wasn't working. Working perfectly for me now.

The test is fine, none of those words is in the minor_words string.

Me too i'm so confused. This Kata has to be wrong on that test case. And the only way "a" "of" and "in" would be capitalized is if they completely do not appear in the "minor_words" string.

correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't there be a word "without" instead of "with" in the description?

Many thanks! Was super tired and missed that one :)

Your code receives a string and returns a string, you're returning a list there, why?

Can't pass this test:

[] should equal ''

so if (text) is empty, what exactly shoud be returned?

Thank you!

The function name "longest" implies to return the longest of s1 or s2, reinforcing the descriptions task of returning the longest string of distinct letters.

I mean, it was not obvious to me while reading the task's description. Maybe it's just because of my poor English skills.

Looking at the examples, I would say it is obvious.

Not very obvious if distinct letters should come from both s1 and s2 before they are merged or after.
