Comment:
I think this would be the wrong direction for RequestFactory. In real
code, a bare request has no session attribute - that's added only by
SessionMiddleware, which is part of a contrib app, not even part of the
core framework. Your test failure is correctly telling you that your
helper function requires a request object that's been annotated with a
session attribute, so your test should explicitly do that annotation in
the test setup, if it's a unittest and not an end-to-end test that runs
the full request-response cycle (including middleware).
