Yes I know, it was generated by a rails scaffold some years ago if I remember correctly. It is a rarely used admin page so I have not got round to re-factoring it yet. It is all a matter of priorities of course. Also of course this is one case where re-factoring may cause existing tests to fail. > > Now to your question...I think I'd use assert_select 'p', :html => > '<b>text</b>value'. Does that help? Yes of course, I don't think I have ever had to use :html, it always seems like a bit of a cop-out but it should fix my problem.
