Getting session value from ScalatraTest-ScalaTest
I am currently writing several Scalatra tests using the ScalaTest framework and the ScalatraSuite class.
test("when i try to go to the base url it shold redirect me "){
get("/") {
status should be(302)
}
}
The next step requires me to check for the existence of some session values, but it's not clear how to do this? Can anyone advise? I'm creating a SessionAccess trait, which for test purposes, overriding with a simple dash the stores session in the available HashMap, but I'm sure there is an easier way?

I've looked at the ScalatraSuite code and it looks like there is no way to get the session object itself. However, you can make multiple calls within a session to test the expected behavior.
If you had the following calls:
post("/start") {
session("foo") = params("foo")
// ...
}
get("/do_something") {
session.get("foo")
}
you can check it like this:
test("Whatever inside of a session") {
session {
post("/start", "foo" -> "bar") {
// assert...
}
get("/do_something") {
body should equal ("bar")
}
}
}
Hope it helps.
