Assert_select_rjs cant find RJS result (via Element.update) with page.replace_html

Rails
1

I have a RJS with the following code:
page.replace_html(“new_task”, :partial=>‘task_edit’)
page.show(“new_task”)
page.hide(“new_task_link”)

Then I try to do a functional test assertion with:
assert_select_rjs :task_has_due_date

which fails and return:
No RJS statement that replaces or inserts HTML content

I am using Rails 2.0.2, any idea?

Solved… I have misunderstand how the id parameter is used, it
should be the element involved for the rjs operation. I realize the
issue after drilling source :slight_smile:
