@pheuter Your plunker is missing a template for a directive (/directives/section/section.html). Please update it otherwise there is no way to debug it.

@pkozlowski-opensource The template is cached in views.js

OK, I see. So, the problem is in your test. You were trying to use class-based selectors while the build-in jqLite find supports only tag-based selectors: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/angular.element

Just include jQuery and your test start to work: http://plnkr.co/edit/lBvAkNgYTaEMEHqW3yMZ?p=preview

@pkozlowski-opensource I updated the plunk with an alert() containing the html of the compiled element.

As you can see, the problem of the directive not being replaced with the template is still prevalent.

That's the core of the problem.

You are missing $rootScope.$digest(); in your test, check my plunk....

Ah, I see. Thanks!
