I found that when you are writing unit tests it is essential to be able to
stuff data into session, c and request. I'm using a base class for
unittests which looks like this:
from unittest import TestCase
from paste.registry import Registry
import pylons
from pylons.util import ContextObj
from pylons.controllers.util import Request
class PylonsTestCase(TestCase):
"""A basic test case which allows access to pylons.c and pylons.request.
"""
def setUp(self):
self.registry=Registry()
self.registry.prepare()
self.context_obj=ContextObj()
self.registry.register(pylons.c, self.context_obj)
self.request_obj=Request(dict(HTTP_HOST="nohost"))
self.registry.register(pylons.request, self.request_obj)
it probably isn't difficult to add session support to that.
