This gem is awesome! I was relying on the Rails stack to get some of my acceptance tests working. I now have it completely decoupled.

Thanks so much for putting it together!

Thanks!

I can wrote RSpec code for Rails Metal :-)

Great work!

A few suggestions:

Rename Rack::Test::Session to Rack::Test::Conversation to avoid confusion with the concept of cookie-based rack sessions

Once you’ve done that, provide access to rack sessions via

  def session
    last_request.env['rack.session']
  end

Rename “last_request” and “last_response” to “request” and “response”—the “last” is redundant since there’s usually no other requests or responses that it could be.

You can easily overload the existing “request” method like this:

    def request(*args)
      args.empty? ? last_request : rack_test_session.request(*args)
    end

Great news. As a reader of your beta book which I strongly recommend I can only ask how this integrates with Webrat and if it will bring it for free with all rack-based frameworks, like Ramaze for instance ?

@Pelle

Oh, nice, didn’t actually look at the code, just what was in the post. My bad.

Exactly what I needed. Thanks. And yep, works nicely with RSpec.

Wow this looks immediately useful in so many ways.

@Bpb Aman, it is just a module that you include. It works equally well with RSpec as far as I can see.

Very, very cool. Anyone feel like doing the equivalent for RSpec?

Dyno-mite! #last_request and #last_response look handy.

This looks very useful!

Can you briefly sum up how this differs from the Rack support built into recent Webrat versions?
