SeasideTesting get the session

Hi,

I'm trying to get the session from a component which is
set up by a SCComponentTestCase. After setting up the
component with

self newApplicationWithRootClass: MyTestComponent
and
self establishSession

I expected to be able to get the session through

self component session

but this is always nil. Do you know any way of getting the
session from the component?

thanks,

Norbert

Hi Norbert,

I had to figure this out too.  It wasn't too bad since there is already a
hook for it.

Here is something you can try.

First make a subclass of Exception subclass: ExceptionGetSession

Then subclass WASession subclass: YOURWASession.  Then add a method:

YOURWASession >> withErrorHandler: aBlock
        ^super withErrorHandler: [aBlock
                on: ExceptionGetSession do: [:ex | ex resume: self]]

Then all you need to do is call

aSession := ExceptionGetSession signal.

Oh you also need to set the session on your application to YOURWASession.

app := (self registerAsApplication: self entryPointName)
                preferenceAt: #sessionClass put: YOURWASession; ...

I also watched with interest the threadLocalVariables discussion on
squeak-dev, which may be a much better solution then running up the stack to
retrieve the session.

Hope that helps,
