Question about a Javascript Exercise

JavaScript
#1

I am working on the exercise at https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/functional-programming/apply-functional-programming-to-convert-strings-to-url-slugs and my code for the function is:

function urlSlug(title) {

let retStr = title.toLowerCase().split(/\W/).join("-");

return retStr;

}
This code passes all of the tests but one. It fails the test ‘urlSlug(" Winter Is Coming") should return “winter-is-coming”’. I have tested the code and it seems to return the desired string. Why is this code failing this one test?

#2

Does adding this line at the bottom help you see what’s going on?

console.log(urlSlug(" Winter Is Coming"))
#3

That’s how I tested it. That line returns “winter-is-coming” which the failed test says I should get.

#4

Does it?

I see what you are talking about. I was testing the wrong version of that string. Thanks
