That looks like it should work, and I don't think you're doing anything wrong.
What's happening is that the object returned by @request.cookies is a Hash, but
the object returned by cookies() in the controller is an
ActionDispatch::Cookies::CookieJar. If you print them both out with .inspect,
they'll both say they are {:lastfm_username => "rj"}, but the answer
differently to other questions:
# in spec
@request.cookies[:lastfm_username] # => "rj"
@request.cookies["lastfm_username"] # => nil
# in controller
cookies[:lastfm_username] # => nil
cookies["lastfm_username"] # => nil
You'll see exactly the same behavior, btw, in a Rails functional test (which an
RSpec controller spec wraps), so this is happening in the Rails test
infrastructure, not RSpec. Care to log a bug report in the Rails tracker?
