I'm afraid this is a bug. CSS selectors are converted to XPath queries
before the evaluation, and apparently there is something wrong with that
conversion.
In this case, the expression:
#person_acti...@checked="checked"]
is transformed to the XPath query:
//*...@id='person_active'][checked="checked"]
The problem here is that the @ before the attribute checked is missing,
therefore it fails to match any element.
This workaround will get the job done (although it's not a valid selector):
$this->assertQuery('#person_acti...@checked="checked"]');
or you can use the assertXpath() method instead.
