E:nth-last-of-type(n) an E element, the n-th sibling of its type, counting

-assert_select(selector, *values, equality?, message?) { |elems| ... }
-assert_select(element, selector, *values, equality?, message?) { |elems| ... }
+assert_select(selector, equality?, message?) { |elems| ... }
+assert_select(element, selector, equality?, message?) { |elems| ... }
Use selector to select elements from response page or first argument
(element), and evalute
equality test. Raises exception with message if equality test fails.
Equality tests include:
true At least one element found (:minimum=>1)
false No element found (:count=>0)
text, :text=>text All elements found have the text contents (string or
regexp)
n, :count=>n Exactly n elements found
:minimum=>n At least n elements found
:maximum=>n At most n elements found
n..m Between n and m elements found
If no count specified, :minimum=>1 assumed.
If no count specified, default is :minimum=>1.
With block, calls block with all selected elements. Calling assert_select (or
any of the other
functions) within that block operates on element selected by outer block.
assert_select_rjs(id?) { |elems| ... }
assert_select_rjs(statement, id?) { |elems| ... }
assert_select_rjs(:insert, position, id?) { |elems| ... }
Asserts that RJS statement updates/inserts HTML content and allows nested
assertions on the content.
With id, selects only RJS statement affecting elements with that id. With
statement, RJS statements
that :replace, :replace_html or :insert. With :insert can limit position
(:before, :after, etc).
assert_select_email() { |elems| ... }
Assertions on the (HTML) body of the delivered e-mail.
assert_select_encoded(element?) { |elems| ... }
For operating on encoded HTML (e.g. RSS item description).
-css_select(selector, *values) => array
-css_select(element, selector, *values) => array
+css_select(selector) => array
+css_select(element, selector) => array
Returns an array with selected elements (empty if no elements selected).
