Overview

An integration Session instance represents a set of requests and responses performed sequentially by some virtual user. 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.

def follow_redirect!

end

#get(path, parameters = nil, headers = nil) ⇒ Object

Performs a GET request with the given parameters.

  • path: The URI (as a String) on which you want to perform a GET request.

  • parameters: The HTTP parameters that you want to pass. This may be nil, a Hash, or a String that is appropriately encoded (application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data).

  • headers: Additional HTTP headers to pass, as a Hash. The keys will automatically be upcased, with the prefix ‘HTTP_’ added if needed.

This method returns an Response object, which one can use to inspect the details of the response. Furthermore, if this method was called from an ActionController::IntegrationTest object, then that object’s @response instance variable will point to the same response object.

You can also perform POST, PUT, DELETE, and HEAD requests with post, put, delete, and head.

end

#request_via_redirect(http_method, path, parameters = nil, headers = nil) ⇒ Object

Performs a request using the specified method, following any subsequent redirect. Note that the redirects are followed until the response is not a redirect–this means you may run into an infinite loop if your redirect loops back to itself.
