Element helpers are not working in ejs with canjs 2.2.5

CanJS
1

Can version: 2.2.5
Code

can.EJS.Helpers.prototype.elementHelper = function() {
	return function(el) {
	    el.innerHTML = 'Simple';
	};
};
var text = '<div id="hookup" <%= elementHelper() %>></div>';
var compiled = new can.EJS({
    text: text
})
.render();
console.log(compiled);

Output
<div id="hookup" data-view-id='145'></div>

This was something that worked previously? I think the hookup function needs to be called to find those data-view-id elements and call some behavior.

// File:
/can/view/ejs/ejs_test.js

// Failing test case
test('helpers', function () {
	can.EJS.Helpers.prototype.simpleHelper = function () {
		return 'Simple';
	};
	can.EJS.Helpers.prototype.elementHelper = function () {
		return function (el) {
			el.innerHTML = 'Simple';
		};
	};
	var text = '<div><%= simpleHelper() %></div>';
	var compiled = new can.EJS({
		text: text
	})
		.render();
	equal(compiled, '<div>Simple</div>');
	text = '<div id="hookup" <%= elementHelper() %>></div>';
	compiled = new can.EJS({
		text: text
	})
		.render();
	can.append(can.$('#qunit-fixture'), can.view.frag(compiled));
	equal(can.$('#hookup')[0].innerHTML, 'Simple');
});

I think the modification didn’t turn out right. Is that the right code?

Actually I have just put test case name and assumed that you will get the code from /can/view/ejs/ejs_test.js. I modified and put the complete code now. Please check.

Here is the complete code.

// File:
/can/view/ejs/ejs_test.js

// Failing test case
test('helpers', function () {
	can.EJS.Helpers.prototype.simpleHelper = function () {
		return 'Simple';
	};
	can.EJS.Helpers.prototype.elementHelper = function () {
		return function (el) {
			el.innerHTML = 'Simple';
		};
	};
	var text = '<div><%= simpleHelper() %></div>';
	var compiled = new can.EJS({
		text: text
	})
		.render();
	equal(compiled, '<div>Simple</div>');
	text = '<div id="hookup" <%= elementHelper() %>></div>';
	compiled = new can.EJS({
		text: text
	})
		.render();
	can.append(can.$('#qunit-fixture'), can.view.frag(compiled));
	equal(can.$('#hookup')[0].innerHTML, 'Simple');
});

Can you give me some pointers how to fix this issue?
