Hi, following the documentation at  
[http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Assertions/ResponseAssertions.html#M000543](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Assertions/ResponseAssertions.html#M000543)  
assert\_template should accept :partial options

eg. assert\_templace :partial =\> ‘\_foo’

But, here with Rails 2.2.2, I get an error  
TypeError: wrong argument type Hash (expected Regexp)

Am I the only one to have this problem ?

The documentation appears to be incorrect, Rails 2.2.2 expects the name  
of  
the template (or regexp) as the first arg.

I suspect the documentation relates to Rails 2.3. Can someone confirm  
this?

Is there any way of determining which version of Rails the docs in  
[api.rubyonrails.org](http://api.rubyonrails.org) relate to?
