Sessions are saved in the database, so you could go straight to the
source, and pull the data from the database. However, you can cheat a
little bit and use the same infrastructure that Django uses in the
Sessions middleware:
from django.contrib.sessions.middleware import SessionWrapper
def MyTest(TestCase):
def testStuff(self):
... do stuff ...
session =
SessionWrapper(self.cookies.get(settings.SESSION_COOKIE_NAME, None))
self.assertTrue(session['key'], value)
Fair warning - I haven't tested this myself. It _should_ work. :-)
Your question does raise an interesting suggestion - the client
currently persists cookies, but it might be nice for the client to
have easy access to the session, too... The testing framework is still
under development, and we need the suggestions of people in the field
to tell us what we can do to make the test framework better.
