Pig Latin- last case not passing

JavaScript
1

The last case fails even though result is correct.

Your code so far


function translatePigLatin(str) {
  var firstVowel = str.match(/[aeiou]/);
  var firstPosition = str.indexOf(firstVowel);

  if (firstPosition > 0) {
    return str.slice(firstPosition) + str.slice(0, firstPosition) + 'ay';
  }
  return str + 'way';
}

console.log(translatePigLatin("rhythm"));

You should add ‘ay’ to the word, if there is no vowel. But you are adding ‘way’ even to the words with no vowels.
