`get_rack_session` and `get_rack_session_key` reset Capybara page.current_url

[thewatts]

Trying to pull data via the url (parameter information), and then work the with data to find objects in the database.

However, when I call page.get_rack_session_key(current_order_key), the value for page.current_url changes from http://www.example.com/:restaurant_slug to http://www.example.com/rack_session.raw = preventing me from then working with the URL.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Yes. We don't directly access app session (it's not even possible for JS cabybara drivers selenium, webkit, ...). Getting/Setting rack session is done via GET/PUT request to middleware app injected in to your application. So that page.current_url changes. Nothing wrong here.

scenario 'Visit page after ordering' do
  shop_id = page.get_rack_session_key(:current_shop_id)
  # current_url is http://www.example.com/rack_session.raw
  visit shop_path(shop_id)
  # current_url is http://www.example.com/shops/:id
  next_shop_id = page.get_rack_session_key(:next_shop_id)
  # current_url is http://www.example.com/rack_session.raw
  ...
end
