Python 'Replace' or 'find' functions are not working in Azure functions

Question

Python's 'replace' or 'find' functions looks to be not working in Azure function. I am trying below code:

if (entity['name']).find(message) != -1 :

Where entity['name'] value is 'finder Scope Matrix' and message value is 'finder Scope'. So ideally the message string is a part of entity['name'] value. But is always returns false.

It works in the local system.

entity['name'] is text value send from team's outgoing webhook.

Any help?
