I am trying to set a session variable in a request spec.
I have tried the following things to do this:
RSpec.describe 'Application Controller' do
context 'updating an application' do
before :each do
@app = create(:application, step: 'investigation')
end
it 'should update app status' do
Status.create(app_id: @app.id, name: Status.names[:start])
request.session[:app_id] = @app.id
patch "/applications/start",
params: s_params
expect(response).to redirect_to(offers_path)
end
end
end
I have tried substituting request with @request both result in the same output.
NoMethodError:
undefined method `session' for nil:NilClass
then I have tried just setting as:
session[:app_id] = @app.id
which will yield:
NoMethodError:
undefined method `session' for nil:NilClass
and also setting it like this:
patch "/applications/start",
params: s_params,
session: {"app_id" => @app.id}
which will yield:
ArgumentError:
unknown keyword: session
My versions:
╰>>> ruby -v
ruby 2.4.5p335 (2018-10-18 revision 65137) [x86_64-darwin18]

- rspec-mocks 3.8.0
- rspec-rails 3.8.0
- rspec-support 3.8.0
Looking at the documentation it suggests we could leverage the sessions but does not give a clear example of how we would do this.

Yeah, I tried every suggestion they had in that post. I am not inheriting fromActionController::TestCaseorActionDispatch::IntegrationTestin my test. It also looks like you only have access to the request after making a call to the object, but I need the session to be set before it makes the call.

Right, sorry. Didn't find anything on the docs to use session directly, but maybe this can help: it seems you can usecookies['key']: github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/blob/master/features/…

You could do the following:
- RSpec.describe 'Application Controller' do
+ RSpec.describe 'Application Controller', type: :request do
And then just:
session[:app_id] = @app.id

This doesn't work. Inside abeforeblock it returns an an unknown method error. Just inside acontextblock you get "undefined local variable or method".
