Mechanize Session Created for each HTTP Request
Reported by Mark Menard | March 6th, 2009 @ 10:20 AM
When using the Mechanize support each request to get a page creates a new instance of WWW::Mechanize. This means that cookies are not preserved. Without cookies lots of stuff doesn't work.
I posted a pull request on Git Hub with a patch. All I did was memoize the WWW::Mechanize instance variable with the ||= operator at line 39 in mechanize.rb.

It's a pseudo patch, I'm not sure if it's good or not and there are no tests.

Thanks, Mark and Andres. I believe this is resolved in the latest Webrat, as the code looks like this:
def mechanize @mechanize ||= WWW::Mechanize.new endMarking this as resolved, but please re-open if there are further issues that need attention.
Cheers,
-Bryan

And make sure to "gem uninstall brynary-webrat" or else your old version of "brynary-webrat" will override the new version of "webrat" -- since B comes before W!
