app.browser and session problem

[Andrey Kuzmin]

Hi, I want to use app.browser to test my web.py app.

The problem is that session is not kept between requests.

I checked web.cookies() and they are empty.

How to make app.browser set and retrieve cookies from webpy app?

How about this become a feature request?
It would be nice to use web.py components to test web.py applications :)

I tried to narrow down the case, and it appears something is wrong with my app, because this works:

import web

web.config.debug = False

urls = '/', 'SetValue', '/getvalue', 'GetValue'

app = web.application(urls, globals())

store = web.session.DiskStore('sessions')

session = web.session.Session(app, store)

class SetValue:

    def GET(self):

        web.setcookie("param", "some-kind-of-cookie-value")

        session.param = "some-kind-of-session-value"

        raise web.seeother("/getvalue")

        

class GetValue:

    def GET(self):

        return "Got cookie value: " + web.cookies().param + "\n" + \

            "And session value: " + session.param

if __name__ == "__main__":

    b = app.browser()

    b.open("/")

    assert b.path == "/getvalue"

    assert "some-kind-of-cookie-value" in b.get_text()

    assert "some-kind-of-session-value" in b.get_text()

Ok, I found the problem was in web.config.session_parameters.cookie_domain, it should be empty to be used in tests.
