Assert_select and rendering of partials: bug?

Rails
1

Has anyone else had any probs with assert_select silently failing to
parse partials that are returned after an ajax call (with
link_to_remote, for example). I have the exact same response returned
for both vanilla and xhr requests except that the xhr one isn’t rendered
with the layout. assert_select finds all the elements in the vanilla
one, but fails to find any of the elements in the partial.

Bug? Known behaviour? Something I’m doing wrong?

Thanks
Chris

I think this is a bug, having had a look at the assert_select
test_suite, which I believe assumes that if a response has a
content-type of JS we’ve got an RJS render going on. I’ve posted a bug
report and test case at:
