I think the Sinatra doc should be updated on changing `set_cookie` to `request.set_cookie`

Regarding testing, I had some issues with setting a value in the session and then testing it was set correctly. I did some digging and ended up faking the session. There’s an example on my posterous page:

I’m testing with Cucumber a Sinatra app that sets a cookie. How do I check that the cookie has been set?

I tried this:

get “http://localhost:4567/logon/fake”
@session_id = rack_mock_session.cookie_jar[‘alc_session_id’]
@session_id.should_not be_nil

but it fails.

Here’s a dump of the cookie-jar:
#”localhost”}>]>

I think it has something to do with the path, but the ‘[]’ method selects all the cookies that match a nil path. I’m guessing that I have to set the domain and path somewhere in the test setup, but I can’t figure out where.

By the way, cookies work fine in the real (non-test) app! I just can’t get them to work in Rack/Test. Here’s the code in case you want to take a look: http://github.com/lsiden/alc.datasource
I’ll make it temporarily public.

Hi, Chris. There’s a typo: `request.set_cookie` should be `response.set_cookie`

You mean “response” in the first two snippets…
