Assert_select

Hi all

This is my first post here. I ave been using Rails for a couple of
months, and am starting to put together a test suite. But I’m having a
problem with assert_select in my functional tests.

According to the documentation, it should be fine with two arguments -
a CSS selector and a string to test it against. But no matter what I
do I keep getting the exception:

wrong number of arguments (6 for 2)

It’s defnitely the assert-select line that’s throwing the error - the
other tests work if I put
that one in a begin-rescue block. I can’t even get an example from the
assert_select cheat sheet to run.

I’m using Rails 1.2.3, running on ruby 1.8.2 (yeah, I know that’s old,
but we’re using Debian…)

Any help would be appreciated.

What does your assert_select line and stack trace look like? Are you
sure your not passing 6 arguments to assert_select?

It doesn’t do anything real, yet, just:

assert_select “title”, “Used”

Stack trace is:

Would you mind posting your whole text_index method? Based on the one
line you posted, there’s no reason why you should be getting that
error message.
