Assert_select_rjs with on a page with "page.select" in it

I’m having a bunch of testing an RJS action. The action updates a DIV
if it
exists, but it isn’t always necessarily present on the page so I use a
page.select in the RJS to check if it exists. (Is there a better way to
do
that?)

Let’s say we have an RJS page containing:

page.select(“some_element_that_may_or_may_not_exist”).each do |value|
page.replace_html value, “something”
end

Writing a test like this fails:

assert_select_rjs “some_element_that_may_or_may_not_exist” do

end

so does:

assert_select_rjs do
assert_select “some_element_that_may_or_may_not_exist”, :count => 1
end

I’m assuming this is because of the “page.select”. Anyone know of a way
to
deal with this?

thanks,
