Trying to resolve a InvalidTokenAuthenticity Issue and discovered NO SESSION is even being passed

Question

I'm using IETester to debug running Parallels on a Mac OS.

Everytime I send an AJAX request out I consistantly get a InvalidAuthenticityToken response.

I've covered every possible issue.

Then I threw in a debugger, and compared session[:_csrf_token] to the form_authenticity_token.

On my mac they matched.

But on my IETester/Parallells I get this :

(rdb:5664) pp session
{}

NO SESSION AT ALL!

QUESTION: IS THIS BECAUSE IETESTER IS A B#@CH? And is it possible that it will work with any other windows operating system?

Answer 1

YES IETESTER doesn't store Session data and is completely inadequate for testing your websites.
