An instance of this class represents a set of requests and responses performed sequentially by a test process. Because you can instantiate multiple sessions and run them side-by-side, you can also mimic (to some limited extent) multiple simultaneous users interacting with your system.

Typically, you will instantiate a new session using IntegrationTest#open_session, rather than instantiating Integration::Session directly.

Class Public methods
new(app)

Create and initialize a new Session instance.

     # File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb, line 174
174:       def initialize(app)
175:         super()
176:         @app = app
177: 
178:         # If the app is a Rails app, make url_helpers available on the session
179:         # This makes app.url_for and app.foo_path available in the console
180:         if app.respond_to?(:routes)
181:           singleton_class.class_eval do
182:             include app.routes.url_helpers if app.routes.respond_to?(:url_helpers)
183:             include app.routes.mounted_helpers if app.routes.respond_to?(:mounted_helpers)
184:           end
185:         end
186: 
187:         reset!
188:       end
Instance Public methods
cookies()

A map of the cookies returned by the last response, and which will be sent with the next request.

     # File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb, line 155
155:       def cookies
156:         _mock_session.cookie_jar
157:       end
host()

The hostname used in the last request.

     # File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb, line 142
142:       def host
143:         @host || DEFAULT_HOST
144:       end
https!(flag = true)

Specify whether or not the session should mimic a secure HTTPS request.

  session.https!
  session.https!(false)
     # File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb, line 231
231:       def https!(flag = true)
232:         @https = flag
233:       end
https?()

Return true if the session is mimicking a secure HTTPS request.

  if session.https?
    ...
  end
     # File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb, line 240
240:       def https?
241:         @https
242:       end
reset!()

Resets the instance. This can be used to reset the state information in an existing session instance, so it can be used from a clean-slate condition.

  session.reset!
