Comment (by Mariusz Felisiak):
Replying to [ticket:34327 Sergei]:
> The following snippet from
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/tools/#django.test.Client.session
the documentation] does not work when using
`django.contrib.sessions.backends.signed_cookies`:
This is not an universal snippet intended to work with all kind of built-
in and 3-party session engines. It's only an example of how the session
can be modified. We could clarify this with:

To modify the session and then save it, it must be stored in a
variable
first (because a new ``SessionStore`` is created every time this
property

def test_something(self):
