title: Why does my PAssert not match an item in my PCollection?
body: <p>I have a PCollection which I am certain contains:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>"Bob"</li>
  <li>"John"</li>
  <li>"Fred"</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>However, when I test an assertion that asks if "Bob" is in the PCollection using:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code>PAssert.that(myPcollection).containsInAnyOrder("Bob")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>we fail the assertion.  Since "Bob" is in the PCollection, why is it failing?</p>
