usage of .endsWith() in Confirm the Ending challenge

Challenge Confirm the Ending has an issue. User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.3.2883.75 Safari/537.36.

In the context of the challenge, it is mentioned that we should not use the build-in “endsWith()” method, but when I used this method here, the problem actually got accepted, which contradicts the conditions given in the context. The test case at the last “Do not use the built-in method .endsWith() to solve the challenge.” also accepted this answer.

I confirmed this again after checking it after multiple refreshes in Google chrome and in Mozilla Firefox Developer Edition.

My code:

function confirmEnding(str, target) {
  // "Never give up and good luck will find you."
  // -- Falcor
  if (str.endsWith(target)){
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}

confirmEnding("He has to give me a new name", "name");

I just noticed that another issue was submitted 5 days ago about the same problem (#12198) and was closed because the changes were already added to staging with PR #10286, as I noticed and commented about earlier, so this issue could probably be closed as resolved in staging. Happy holidays and happy coding!
