assert_select tag in Rails 1.2.2

Rails 1.2.2 names the form elements like contact[subject], contact[body] and so on. The following code does not work in latest version.

def test_login_form_has_all_fields     get :login     assert_select "form[action=http://myapp/login\] input" do |inputs|         assert_equal 3, inputs.size         assert_select inputs[0], "input[type=name][name=username]"         assert_select inputs[1], "input[type=password][name=password]"         assert_select inputs[2], "input[type=submit][value=Login]"     end end

When the name is changed to contact[subject] format, it bombs out saying square brackets are not right selector.

Does anyone know how to check the form elements using assert_select tag? TIA.

You could query by id, typically "user_username".

I just do this. Much more powerful:

  form = select_form 'my_form_id'   assert_equal 'foo', form['user[username]']   form.submit
