Binarylogic Authlogic

(originally posted to Google Group, but no reply, and seemingly a bug, so opening it here)

Running authlogic v2.0.5 as a gem.

In a functional test, I'm using UserSession.create
(user_object, :secure) to create secure sessions in each of several tests. If the action called by any of those tests includes a
redirect, then a subsequent UserSession.create(user_object, :secure)
call, in separate test methods, fail to create a secure session.
Comment out the earlier test, and the subsequent call successfully
creates a secure session.

So, in a functional test file, we have...

def setup
  activate_authlogic
end




def test_1
  UserSession.create(user_object, :secure)
  post :some_action_that_results_in_redirect
end




def test_2
  UserSession.create(user_object, :secure)
  post :some_action_that_results_in_redirect
end

...results in a secure session being created during the first test, but not the second. Comment out either test, and the other test
successfully creates the secure session. Alternatively, replacing the called action with an action that does not redirect also eliminates the problem.

Also, with the above tests in place, running all tests via "rake
test:functionals" causes some UserSession.create(user_object) calls to fail in other functional test files (ie: those that test other
controllers). Commenting out the two test methods that rely on a
secure session and that result in redirect allows the
UserSession.create(user_object) calls to function properly.

It seems that something in the ID associated session generator is
carrying over between tests when it shouldn't be. Or am I
misunderstanding something about how to test ID based sessions?

Thank You,
