rspec users - Oct 2009 - RSpec-Rails not tearing down the session?

I noticed that a session that I am setting up in one exa,ple is still
available in another. Is RSpec-Rails supposed to tear down the session
or should I be doing this myself?

Unless you''ve got a before(:all) block, you should be getting a fresh  
session in each example, in which case you''ve probably uncovered a bug.

I''ve isolated the code pretty well. The session is being set with
Authlogic, not certain if that makes a difference.

The session hash is empty on the test side but populated in the
controller when it shouldn''t be.

So I think that this is an Authlogic issue, not a RSpec-Rails issue.
I''ll keep digging and if I find a fix I''ll update

So the problem I was having was because I had a before_filter that was
disabling the magic states for a specific action. I resolved the
problem by changing this to an around filter:

before:

def disable_magic_states
   UserSession.disable_magic_states = true
end

after:

def temporarily_disable_magic_states
   UserSession.disable_magic_states = true
   yield
   UserSession.disable_magic_states = false
end

That fixed it. Kind of a unique problem but if it hopefully it will
save somebody else some time.
