If it is a normal controller or non-Webkit test, you can access the controller variable directly (I think with @controller), so you can just set session vars directly like:
@controller.session[:current_user] = @my_user If you are writing a capybara webkit test, you don't have direct access to the same ruby environment where the session runs, but you can use this excellent gem to access it: https://github.com/railsware/rack_session_access If you're using devise, there's patterns for doing this both in and out of webkit.
