Parent: | Object |
An integration Session instance represents a set of requests and responses performed sequentially by some virtual user. Becase 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 IntegrationTest#open_session, rather than instantiating Integration::Session directly.
accept | [RW] | The Accept header to send. |
controller | [R] | A reference to the controller instance used by the last request. |
cookies | [R] | A map of the cookies returned by the last response, and which will be sent with the next request. |
headers | [R] | A map of the headers returned by the last response. |
host | [RW] | The hostname used in the last request. |
path | [R] | The URI of the last request. |
remote_addr | [RW] | The remote_addr used in the last request. |
request | [R] | A reference to the request instance used by the last request. |

Performs a DELETE request with the given parameters. See get() for more details.
Follow a single redirect response. If the last response was not a redirect, an exception will be raised. Otherwise, the redirect is performed on the location header.
Performs a GET request with the given parameters. The parameters may be nil, a Hash, or a string that is appropriately encoded (application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data). The headers should be a hash. The keys will automatically be upcased, with the prefix ‘HTTP_’ added if needed.
You can also perform POST, PUT, DELETE, and HEAD requests with post, put, delete, and head.
Performs a GET request, following any subsequent redirect. Note that the redirects are followed until the response is not a redirect—this means you may run into an infinite loop if your redirect loops back to itself.
Performs a HEAD request with the given parameters. See get() for more details.
Specify whether or not the session should mimic a secure HTTPS request.
session.https! session.https!(false)
Performs a POST request with the given parameters. See get() for more details.
Performs a POST request, following any subsequent redirect. This is vulnerable to infinite loops, the same as get_via_redirect.
Performs a PUT request with the given parameters. See get() for more details.
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!
Returns the URL for the given options, according to the rules specified in the application‘s routes.
Performs an XMLHttpRequest request with the given parameters, mimicing the request environment created by the Prototype library. The parameters may be nil, a Hash, or a string that is appropriately encoded (application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data). The headers should be a hash. The keys will automatically be upcased, with the prefix ‘HTTP_’ added if needed.
