Over the weekend, Brian Ford released a useful plugin for testing your Ruby on Rails applications called, assert_cookie.

To use assert_cookie, follow these steps.

1. Install via, script/plugin install http://svn.planetargon.org/rails/plugins/assert_cookie
2. Fill your tests with some cookies
3. Test your cookies!

  assert_cookie :pass, 
      :value => lambda { |value| UUID.parse(value).valid? }
  assert_cookie :yellow, :value => ['sunny', 'days']
  assert_cookie :delight, :value => 'yum'
  assert_cookie :secret, :path => lambda { |path| path =~ /secret/ }, 
      :secure => true
