authlogic flash[:notice] does not show up in cucumber webrat step

问题

I am running BDD steps with cucumber to implement my autlogic login behavior.

 Scenario: log in
Given a registered user: "test@test.com" with password: "p@ssword" exists
And I am on the homepage
When I follow "Log in"
And I fill in "Username" with "test@test.com"
And I fill in "Password" with "p@ssword"
And I open the page
And I press "Login"
And I open the page
Then I should see "Login successful!"
And I should see "Logout"

this is my scenario and when I hit

Then I should see "Login successful!"

my cucumber step fails but only in webrat. I debugged with launchy and when the web-page appeard there is indeed no message but in development mode, when I run script/server I see my messages. My controller looks like this

 def create
@user_session = UserSession.new(params[:user_session])
  if @user_session.save
    flash[:notice] = "Login successful!"
   redirect_to root_url
  else
    render :action => 'new'
  end

end

And yes I saw this http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic/issuesearch?state=open&q=cucumber+flash#issue/142 and did not understand how this could help me and this also did not help

回答1:

instead of the line

flash[:notice] = "Login successful!"   
redirect_to root_url

just try rendering it instead of redirecting it.

flash[:notice] = "Login successful!"   
render :action => :root_url

in doing this, it seems to remember flash[:notice]

i could not get --> redirect_to root_url, :flash => { :notice => 'not found' }, :notice => Login successful!' <-- to work at all

回答2:

Looks like rails 2.3.8 has changed the method in which is displays notices..

redirect_to(root_url, :notice => 'Login successful!')

might be what you're looking for.

回答3:

I believe this issue will be fixed in Rails 2.3.9. It has to do with setting both a cookie and a session in the same request. See this ticket for details.

In the meantime you can use this gist as a temporary fix.
