rspec users - Oct 2007 - Cookies in RSpec

So how do you work with cookies properly in rspec now?  I noticed in  
the docs that it mentions session, assigns, and flash, but nothing of  
cookie.  I''m using edge rails so I''m concerned about changes
to the
cookie mechanisms.  I need to assign values into the cookie (a  
remember token for restful authentication) so that I can have it log  
in by cookie.  here is my spec for it:

http://pastie.caboo.se/103647

I''m using AR-stored-sessions, if that matters.

Hi Nate,

I''m mocking cookies like this:

  it "should clean cookie with remember_token" do
    cookies = mock(''cookies'')
    cookies.stub!(:[])
    controller.stub!(:cookies).and_return(cookies)

    cookies.should_receive(:delete).with(:remember_token)
    delete :destroy
  end


   def destroy
    current_user.forget_me
    cookies.delete :remember_token
    reset_session
    redirect_to home_path
  end


You can stub writing part like this:
   cookies.stub!(:[]=)

I have got some nice ideas from caboo''s empty rspec app:
