AssertionError: You need to have the session app intsalled #46

This thread (https://github.com/danfairs/django-lazysignup/issues/39) seemed to touch upon this issue, but didn't seem relevant to my exact problem. (Or at least, didn't explain it well enough)

LazyUser has been working fine in production, but when I try to build unit tests surrounding it I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/Users/raymondarnold/Dropbox/SublimeDocs/Freelance/agora/checkout/tests.py", line 48, in test_begin_payments_displays_two_submit_options_if_not_logged_in
    response = browse(request, page="checkout")
  File "/Users/raymondarnold/Dropbox/SublimeDocs/Freelance/agora/venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/lazysignup/decorators.py", line 19, in wrapped
    assert hasattr(request, 'session'), ("You need to have the session "
AssertionError: You need to have the session app intsalled```

My impression looking around is that the session app isn't available during unit tests. I'm currently looking for a workaround for this - it looks like I can manually set up the session, but want to make sure I'm getting the data right. Meanwhile, might be helpful to include something about this in the docs.

Which settings file are you using for your tests? You'll need to make sure django.contrib.sessions is listed in there. Take a look at the included settings.py in lazysignup for an example.
