assert_select for attributes that have square brackets

[James K]

Hey folks, wondering if there's a way to use assert_select with an
attribute selector for an element with a square bracket in the name,
as all rails form elements do:

assert_select 'input[name=model_name[field_name]]' gives
ArgumentError: Invalid selector: ]

I know I can work around this by iterating over all the input elements
in the form, but it seems like there must be a way of escaping the
selector to make this case work (which must be somewhat common among
rails apps)

assert_select 'input[name=?]', 'model_name[field_name]'
