By the same reason "same(None, None)" returns False

Well, It's ok None and [] should be treaded differently. But it should be said explicitly. Nothing is evident when we deal with values like None, False, 0, [], "", NULL etc. It all should be said explicitly.

I also agree. With the given error messages, I don't really know what to correct:

test5(AreSameTest)
Unknown Test Failure
test6(AreSameTest)
8

It's still a good kata, just needs more explicit error messages :)

It was in Java. That's a shame that you can't edit it. It would be a really simple fix and would make this kata a lot less frustrating and more fun.

Thanks for your response though :P

Which language?
PS: I can't anymore modify the kata because more than 500 codewarriors (735) succeeded:-(

I had the same issue and I agree with bkaes. Please make tests more explicit and clear.

The tests for this kata need work. Here's a sample of what the results look like when I submit my solution:

test2(AreSameTest)
121 121
361 361
361 361
361 14641
Test Passed

test4(AreSameTest)
expected: but was:

test7(AreSameTest)
121 121
361 361
14641 14641
20736 20736
25921 25921
36481 36481
38025 38025
2073600 2073600
Test Passed

test8(AreSameTest)
196 0
expected: but was:

Obviously this is very frustrating to code warriors. I can't even tell why the tests are failing! Tests 4 and 8 don't tell me what they're testing or even what the expected/actuals were, so I forfeited this kata even though the other tests all passed.

Please fix for future warriors.

Read again the description, if they are both empty why should it be false?

"If a or b are empty the result is evident by itself."

I was sure is it evident that same([], []) should return False, but tests say it should return True. So it is not evident :)
