Testing cookies

reivilo · November 28, 2007, 10:31pm

Hello,

Here’s a test I wrote for cookies:

it “should change language when params[:id] is present” do

cookies[:thothle_language] = ‘e’

get ‘index’, :id => ‘f’

response.cookies[“thothle_language”].should equal(‘f’)

end

The error I get is the following:

…expected “f”, got [“f”] (using .equal?)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Olivier D.

Two things here:

1 - equal is object identity, so you probably want == instead
2 - cookies[key] is returning an Array

Try this:

response.cookies[“thothle_language”].should == [“f”]
