Have you verified for precision differences? Try inserting a CoordinateRounder to 3 decimal places on both datasets before the ChangeDetector.
In the change detector are you matching geometries as well as attributes?
And if you are checking geometry, are both datasets using the same coordinate system?
Thank you for your replies.
No, i don't check geometries, but only one attributes ("parcelle").
My Datasets using both the same coordinate system (EPSG 2154).

Can you show a screenshot of the ChangeDetector settings?
This is what the ChangeDetector settings should look like:

Yes, here are the parameters :
Try inserting a StringFormatter with the format string "s" (only the letter s, no quotes) on both datasets entering the ChangeDetector:
You could also try inserting an AttributeTrimmer as well, in case there are any spaces or non-printable characters.
I was not able to reproduce the issue using FME 2017.1.
This is what the ChangeDetector settings should look like:
Yep, exactly the same as I used in FME 2017.1, worked as expected.
Another thing to try is to read the "parcelle" attribute from both sources as integer.
To change the reader feature type you need to change this setting:

I've tried with StringFormatter with "s" before ChangeDetector but no changes :
I've also tried to create a new attribute, but it's the same

Yes, it's the same that I used too

I don't check geometries in the script
Try temporarily replacing the ChangeDetector with a FeatureMerger, merge on "parcelle". If the behavior is the same, I pretty much guarantee that the problem is with the features themselves and not a bug with FME.
You could also consider posting a small sample dataset here that exhibits the problem, that would be very helpful.
Hello @arxit,
Are you able to attach your workspace or a sample of the data(1feature from each source to an FFS file would work)?
Secondly, on one of the images, 'pict-1.png' it almost appears that there is whitespace at the end of the value so rather than '1391' it looks like it could be '1391 '. Are you able to just verify this? I think I may just be seeing things/stretching it.
I've had some interesting challenges with the ChangeDetector/UpdateDetector in the past.
To debug I suggest you use a Tester to only allow through one equivalent polygon from each stream, then remove all the attributes except the one your are testing against. Then check the results. If it works OK then start to isolate the problem by allowing attributes through.
Alternatively can you post a screen capture of the two relevant features (using Run with Breakpoints) just before they enter the ChangeDetector.
Finally, post the data with a small sample. You can use the Recorder transformer to create an FFS file that you can upload.

I agree about the trailing space. I'm curious to know if he tried the AttributeTrimmer, as suggested.

@david_r suggested an AttributeTrimmer yesterday and @arxit shows an example shortly after with a StringFormatter, but not AttributeTrimmer.

Yes, i had tried the FeatureMerger on this attribute and it worked !

Hello,
As suggested by mark_1spatial, I have test only one polygon and i have removed all attributes except "parcelle".
I inserted loggers (in attachments :
script-log.zip), two after my sources and two after ChangeDetector (in outputs).

Thank you. With a StringReplacer " " by "" on attribute "parcelle", it works !
I'm sorry about the simplicity of this problem.

Your value of "parcelle" in the REVISED source contains a trailing space.

The AttributeTrimmer suggested yesterday would've fixed your problem.

AttributeTrimmer works ! I didn't see this yesterday (i had only tried StringFormatter). Thank you very much
