Setting session values

Testing RSpec
1

Okay, I give up. I have been trying to set session values in a
controller,
but no matter what, once the request is made and inside the controller,
the session is empty. What’s the correct way? I have tried

session[‘whatever’] = something
controller.stub!(:session).and_return(session)

I tried creating a new session, but nothing seems to do it. I’m sure
there’s something I’m missing. Suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve

i’ve done this in controller specs

session[:whatever] = something
do_it

Yeah, I did that, and it was turning up nil when I actually made the
request.

I know your post was from over a year ago, but I’ll post this anyway. I
think the problem with Radiant is that in the SiteController it has

session :off

as the first line. So sessions will be disabled for any controller than
inherits from SiteController as I understand it. My next step is to
figure out why and see if re-enabling sessions is safe.
