CodeCeption assertContains fails when array contains UTF-8 characters

Question

I have an assertion to check a key in an array in my CodeCeption tests. The test calls a REST API and checks the returned response.

I have this command:

$I->assertContains("key", $resp);

The output is:

Step  Assert contains "key",{"key":"0m-5m","price":10000,"text":"۰ تا ۵ دقیقه"}
Fail  Failed asserting that an array contains 'key'.

But when I change the command to the following, everything works fine:

$I->assertInternalType("string", $resp["key"]);

This behavior shows that there is a key named key in my $resp object.

I supposed that the cause may be the UTF-8 characters, since I've been using asserContains a hundred times before and it works as a charm.

Any idea how to solve the issue?

I tried another assert method of CodeCeption which worked fine for me.

$I->assertArrayHasKey("key", $resp);
