Problems with assert_select

I’m sure this is user error, so let me describe it real quick.

So, I’m in a functional test, and this line exists in the body of the
response:

foo

I’m attempting to do this in the test:

assert_select “div#div_nick_name”
assert_select “div#div_nick_name” “foo”

My intent in case it’s not obvious is to test that the content of the
div is equal to ‘foo’. The first of those two lines works, the second
results in:

I’m a newb to rails, so I’m hoping this will be obvious to someone a bit
more seasoned.

I’ll answer my own question in case someone else out there is as much of
a moron as me and could use it to help them…

assert_select “div#div_nick_name”, “foo”

Notice the comma…
