Hello all,
I''m running the latest stable rspec/rspec-rails (1.3.0/1.3.2) in a
Rails 2.3.8 app and am having trouble testing that a cookie gets
deleted.
In a semi-convoluted manner, I am essentially running code from the
rdoc as such:
describe MyController, "GET index" do
let(:cookie_value) { "of course" }
it "should delete the cookie" do
cookies[:awesome] = cookie_value
get :index
cookies[:awesome].should == cookie_value
end
end
This is obviously example code but the outcome effect is the same -
trying to find the value of a cookie I set with RSpec fails. For my
specific, real-life example, I''m assigning a cooking and performing a
request in the before block and testing that the cookie is deleted.
It''s passing, but incorrectly (since I haven''t performed the
deletion
in my controller action).
Any insight would be appreciated; thanks!
