th:if fails to parse equality against a literal string

[abousta]

Hello

Can't parse th:if="${value=='a string'}"

Steps to reproduce :

• Go to test/standard/processors/IfAttributeProcessor.js and run the test named "Renders the element and children if the expression is truthy"
  --> Success
• Change let expression = '${value}' into let expression = '${value==\'str\'}'
• Few lines below, in the test data, change value: true into value: 'str'
• Run the test
  --> Error: Failed to parse "${value=='str'}"

Regards

Note that an alternative syntax like th:if="${value}=='a string'" (ie test condition outside of brackets) works fine
