[dancer-users] How to send back cookies in Dancer2 Tests?

[Gabor Szabo]

Hmm,

I have this problem during testing, no server is launched.
In config.yml I have

  session: YAML

and I saw a file called UnD4WqseotQvyKMGxpoVXSUYRASXQ0TA.yml
in the sessions/ directory. So I think the session should have been
accessible even if I hit a different server process.
(I even added now a test case checking if the file exists before I send the
second request, and it does.)

after running dancer2 -a Test
and having these files: https://gist.github.com/szabgab/7234175
would be a minimal case.
