Webrat is library to write acceptance tests for ruby web applications. I also like shoulda for its context. However using the two in conjunction has been little fun. I wanted to multiple sessions testing. Following is the code I used to get it done using shoulda and webrat. It might turn out to be useful example for some.

require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../test_helper'

class UserStories  'some@one.com'
      fill_in "password", :with => "idunno"
      click_button
      assert_equal '/session', path
    end
  end

  context 'A User' do
    setup do
      visit "login"
      assert_response :success
      fill_in "email",:with => users(:tom).email
      fill_in "password", :with => "123456"
      click_button
      assert_equal '/profile', path
    end

    should 'be able to login with valid email and password' do
      visit 'forums/new'
      assert_response :success
    end
  end

end
