rspec users - Feb 2009 - testing multiple sessions in cucumber/webrat

Is it possible to have a scenario where you are testing the
interaction between two different session?

i.e.

Given User A clicks this link
Then User B should see this

It used to be possible, but don''t know if it still is.

Joe

Joe,I would test this in 2 steps.
I''d first test that whatever state change (or whatever happens when you
User
A clicks the link) takes place.
Then in another test, I''d check that, given a certain state (or again,
whatever is supposed to happen), then User B sees whatever.

It is possible, you simply have to logout from UserA and log in as
UserB. Also, although it''s not exposed with webrat IIRC it is possible
to have selenium run to separate browsers at the same time. You could
theoretically have UserA and UserB logged in concurrently doing their
thing,

Have you tried creating a new webrat session?  I haven''t looked into it
myself, but like you said it was possible.  Not much has changed with 
the underling rails integration session so I imagine that if you just 
created a new webrat session and used that for user B then you should be 
fine.  (So, you will have to store this second session as an instance 
var in the other session.. kinda odd but I would try it.)  I would be 
interested to hear if this works, so please report back.  BTW, you might 
get some better answers on the webrat mailing list.

If you mean something along these lines:

User A uploads a picture,
User B logs in to see the picture uploaded by User A

that is possible.

I use this construct a lot to test-drive some revisions code I came  
up with. Something like:

Given I am logged in
And     there is an article
And    the title of the article has been modified twice
When I  compare the revisions
Then  I should see the difference in title

GIven "the title of the article has been modified twice" do
   Given "I am logged in as an editor"

   2.times do |i|
     visit edit_article_path(@article)
     fill_in "Title", :with => "Title #{i}"
     click_button "Save"
   end

   Given "I am logged in as a writer"
end

cheers,
bartz

Not sure if this is exactly what you need, but I found this technique to 
be very handy:

   http://erikonrails.snowedin.net/?p=159

It involves mixing in a method to ActionController::Integration::Session 
so that you can create a step definition that happens "outside" the 
current session:

module ActionController
  module Integration
    class Session
      def in_a_separate_session
        old = @response.clone
        yield
        @response = old
      end
    end
  end
end

Here''s a sample usage from his page:

Then /^I should be logged in$/ do
  in_a_separate_session do
    Given "I visit /users/me"
    Then "I should see \"You are logged in\""
  end
end
