I don't get why this spec fails. 

*Failure/Error: comment_message(@comment, opts).should == @truncated_comment
       expected: "hi dude! hi dude! hi dude! hi dude! hi dude! hi dude! hi dude! hi dude! hi du..."
            got: "hi dude! hi dude! hi dude! hi dude! hi dude! hi dude! hi dude! hi dude! hi d..." (using ==)*

when I'm running this in the console:

*truncate(@comment.text, @comment.text.length)*

I get the expected output from above but in the test it does not work?!
