    <p>In my Application Controller I am setting cookies in 3 places. In a before filter...</p> <pre><code>def set_abingo_identity # skip bots if request.user_agent =~ /#{@robot_regular_expression}/i Abingo.identity = "robot" elsif current_user Abingo.identity = cookies[:abingo_identity] ||= { :value =&gt; current_user.id, :expires =&gt; 1.year.from_now } else Abingo.identity = cookies[:abingo_identity] ||= { :value =&gt; rand(10 ** 10), :expires =&gt; 1.year.from_now } end end </code></pre> <p>... and in two methods...</p> <pre><code>def remember_visit url 20.times do |i| # Add cookie to referrer list name = "referrer#{i}" if cookies[name].blank? cookies[name] = {:value =&gt; url, :expires =&gt; Time.now + 1.year } break elsif cookies[name] == url break # skip end end end </code></pre> <p>... and this one...</p> <pre><code>def set_referral_cookie val ref_name = "referral_id" offer_name = "offer_id" cur = cookies[ref_name] offer = cookies[offer_name] affiliate = Affiliate.find_by_name val if cur.blank? || offer.blank? if affiliate if cur.blank? cookies[ref_name] = { :value =&gt; affiliate.id.to_s, :expires =&gt; Time.now + 1.year } end if offer.blank? &amp;&amp; affiliate.offer? &amp;&amp; !affiliate.expired? cookies[offer_name] = { :value =&gt; affiliate.id.to_s, :expires =&gt; Time.now + 1.year } end end end return affiliate end </code></pre> <p>Stepping through in the debugger, I see in the before filter, <code>cookies["abingo_identity"]</code> is set. Then in remember_visit(), both it and <code>cookies["referrer0"]</code> are set, and then in set_referral_cookie(), all 3 are set.</p> <p>But when I get back to my functional test, only <code>cookies["abingo_identity"]</code> is set. </p> <p>The cookies["abingo_identity"] part is new, and when I comment it out, the other cookies persist.</p> <p>What is wrong with this code?</p> <p>Update: They are not getting deleted, but they are not all copied to the test case's @response.cookies</p>

    1. COCould this just be a result of [A/Bingo](https://github.com/ryanb/abingo) use when `current_user` is nil and you are generating a unique identity? Raise an issue in their project if it doesn't work as expected, because I don't see a test relating to cookies in master or any integration tests as of 2013-08-17, but it might be as simple as ensuring `current_user.id` the same id each time: https://github.com/ryanb/abingo/blob/master/test/abingo_test.rb

    2. COThanks, but it seems to be related to the TestCase's parsing of headers['Set-Cookie'], which has all 3 in it

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
