There is a Test::Unit “compatibility” module that comes with Minitest, so that you can (presumably) use your existing Test::Unit tests as-is. This is probably the Test::Unit module you are seeing.

In assert_select, you can also use a question mark for the attribute value, and then follow with a string to match. assert_select “a[href=?]”, “https://stackoverflow.com/desired_path/1” There’s another way to use assert_select that is more friendly, especially if you want to match a partial string or regexp pattern: assert_select “a”, :href => /acebook\.com\/share/
