TestyCookie gem provides a helper for accessing plain, permanent, signed, and encrypted cookies in Rails controller, integration, and request tests.
In Rails, ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest based tests and RSpec request specs do not provide encrypted, permanent and signed stores when the default cookies helper is used (it returns Rack::Test::CookieJar instance). TestyCookie resolves this limitation by initializing a proper ActionDispatch::Cookies::CookieJar instance which support these stores. The included helper also propagates any changes back to the original Rack::Test::CookieJar instance making them correctly read in application controllers.
In ActionController::TestCase tests and RSpec controller specs, cookie_jar serves as an alias for the default cookies method which returns ActionDispatch::Cookies::CookieJar instance correctly.
Inside your controller / integration / request test, call cookie_jar helper to access cookies:
cookie_jar.encrypted[:key]
cookie_jar.signed[:key] = value
cookie_jar.signed.encrypted.permanent[:key] = value
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem "testy_cookie"
And then execute:
$ bundle
