class ActionDispatch::Integration::Session

An instance of this class represents a set of requests and responses performed sequentially by a test process. Because you can instantiate multiple sessions and run them side-by-side, you can also mimic (to some limited extent) multiple simultaneous users interacting with your system.

Typically, you will instantiate a new session using ActionDispatch::Integration::Runner#open_session, rather than instantiating Integration::Session directly.

Public Class Methods

new(app) click to toggle source

Create and initialize a new Session instance.

Calls superclass method ActionDispatch::Routing::UrlFor.new
# File lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb, line 184
def initialize(app)
  super()
  @app = app

  # If the app is a Rails app, make url_helpers available on the session
  # This makes app.url_for and app.foo_path available in the console
  if app.respond_to?(:routes)
    singleton_class.class_eval do
      include app.routes.url_helpers
      include app.routes.mounted_helpers
    end
  end

  reset!
end

Public Instance Methods

cookies() click to toggle source

A map of the cookies returned by the last response, and which will be sent with the next request.

# File lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb, line 165
def cookies
  _mock_session.cookie_jar
end
host() click to toggle source

The hostname used in the last request.

# File lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb, line 152
def host
  @host || DEFAULT_HOST
end
https!(flag = true) click to toggle source

Specify whether or not the session should mimic a secure HTTPS request.

session.https!
session.https!(false)
# File lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb, line 241
def https!(flag = true)
  @https = flag
end
https?() click to toggle source

Returns true if the session is mimicking a secure HTTPS request.

if session.https?
  ...
end
# File lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb, line 250
def https?
  @https
end
reset!() click to toggle source

Resets the instance. This can be used to reset the state information in an existing session instance, so it can be used from a clean-slate condition.

session.reset!
# File lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb, line 217
