I am trying use Rspec to test our authentication, this requires me to
set a cookie and pass
it in the header.
when I inspect the headers the cookie is blank
Any ideas why this is not working?
— The Spec
it “should redirect to overview page if exists” do
get ‘login’
request.session_options[:session_key].should ==
‘_CRS_session_id’
request.session_options[:secret].should_not == nil
cookie = request.session_options[:session_key] + ‘=’ +
request.session_options[:secret]
headers = {
‘cookie’ => cookie,
‘Referer’ => ‘http://localhost:3000/auth/login’,
‘Content-Type’ => ‘application/x-www-form-urlencoded’
}
post('login', {:username => 'test', :password => 'password'},
headers)
puts response.headers[“cookie”].inspect
puts request.inspect
response.should redirect_to(controller => 'profiles', :action =>
‘overview’)
end
– Controller method for login
def login
if request.method == :post && !cookies[‘_CRS_session_id’]
flash[:auth_error] = :cookies_off
elsif request.method == :post && params[:login_form]
username = params[:login_form][:username]
password = params[:login_form][:password]
ldap_authenticate(username, password)
end
end

I’ve been struggling with this for ages so any input will be greatly
appreciated.
I’ve also looked at mocks and could not get that to work.
