Hi,

I upgraded to 1.2.2 and many of my functional tests broke. It seems like  
passing stuff into the session using the following syntax doesn’t work:

get :index, {}, {:user\_id =\> ‘1’}

In the debugger I could clearly see that the :user\_id didn’t make it  
into the session. Did the syntax for doing this change, or is this a  
bug?

Ingo

I just posted about this a few minutes ago 🙂

Apparently the correct syntax is now:

@request.session[:user\_id] = ‘1’  
get :index

What Ingo has should work. This is a bug and will be fixed in 1.2.3!

Sorry for letting the regression slip in, all.
