RackSessionManipulation

RackSessionManipulation is rack middleware designed to expose internal session information to be read and modified from within tests. This is intended to assist in treating routes as modular units of work that can be tested in isolation without the dependency of the rest of your application.

This is not intended to replace full set of 'behavior' tests, but can be used to speed up getting to a 'Given' state in place of helpers that previously would be forced to walk through your entire application stack to establish the target state. That walkthrough is valuable but can be redundant and unecessary.

This middleware should never be used in production as it allows arbitrary tampering of encrypted server-side session information without any form of authentication. Use in production can lead to abuses such as user impersonation, privilege escalation, and private information exposure depending on what the application stores in the session.

Installation
