Setting sessions in controller tests

[bertly_the_coder]

Hi Guys,

I'm writing some tests in Rspec and one of them needs a session to be set. Does anyone know how to set a session in Rails tests?

Thanks!

You need to set your test to run as a controller test.

A controller test have already access to session hash, and you can use wherever you want inside it

To set your tests to run as controller test you need just: 

describe MyController, type: :controller do

  before { session[:mysession] = value }

end
