Why is my validation not working anymore?

Projects Programming

So I have a simple sketch here where I enter a value via the serial monitor and validate the entry with an If statement, but for some reason it's not working even though it did this morning. I've added a couple of Serial.printlns just to verify that my String is being populated but the validation fails every time. Am I totally off my rocker here?

String input;

void setup(){

Serial.begin(19200);

}

void loop(){
 
if (Serial.available() > 0) {    
  
  input=Serial.readString();
  
  Serial.println(input);

  if(input == "test"){
   
    Serial.println("True");
  }
  
  else{
   
    Serial.println("False");
  }

  Serial.println(input);
  
  }

}

Does it help if you try changing the carriage return or new line settings in the serial monitor?

Your code works; the only way I can get it to 'fail' is if I set serial monitor to send CR and/or NL as the line ending.

I feel like an idiot.

Thanks guys.
