I am trying to save data into the session object for an anonymous user.
While I can do this for "real" using `request.session[key] = value` I am
not able to simulate this during testing (by calling
`test.Client.session.save()`). A quick round of debugging revealed that
the test client uses a regular dictionary object for storing session data
in the case of anonymous users (as opposed to a SessionStore object for
known/authenticated users). This causes an error when I try to call
`self.client.session.save()` from the `setUp()` method of my test class
before running a test case.
{{{
from django.test import Client, TestCase
class MyTestCase(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
self.client = Client()
self.client.session['key'] = 'value'
self.client.session.save() # AttributeError: 'dict' object has no
attribute 'save'
def test_foo(self):
self.assertEqual(1, 1)
}}}
I have included `django.contrib.sessions` in my `INSTALLED_APPS`.
