Here is a good thread explaing the difference and pointing also to the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide. Check for Jim Mcnamara's answers:

https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...rent-then.html

So you might want to change it to:
Code:
$> if [ "$file" != "test" ]; then echo ERROR; fi
ERROR

# or

$> if [[ $file != test ]]; then echo ERROR; fi
ERROR

Round brackets are for arithmetic expressions. If you want to compare strings, use square brackets.
