How can I compare request.path and user.username in a template?

Question

I have tried with

{% if request.path == "/{{user.username}}" %}
                  You are in Contact</p>
  {% else %}
            nono

But It doesn't work

HTML does not have a template engine. Are you using one from a language in particular? — Ibu, May 02 '19 at 21:27

`doesn't work` what does this mean? Error? Wrong behavior? `You are in Contact` in contact with himself? What is `user` here, which path are you comparing it to? — Ivan Starostin, May 03 '19 at 08:03
I agree is user.username and request.path really the same here? What do you want to reach? The path seems to return a full path as string whereas the user only contains a max 150 characters username. Please share some more details. — Christian, Jul 20 '19 at 00:53

If it fails, output something useful so you can see why:

{% if request.path == "/{{ user.username }}" %}
    You are in Contact
{% else %}
    {{ request.path }} is not the same as /{{ user.username }}
{% endif %}
