Description

The "UsersControllerTest#test_0023_should create and login external user" test attempts to use an empty session for a request by setting @request.session to nil, but this causes an error inside the Rails test cases under Rails 5.0.0 or higher.

NoMethodError: undefined method `update' for nil:NilClass
    actionpack (5.0.0) lib/action_controller/test_case.rb:516:in `process'
    apipie-rails (0.3.6) lib/apipie/extractor/recorder.rb:153:in `process_with_api_recording'
    rails-controller-testing (0.1.1) lib/rails/controller/testing/template_assertions.rb:61:in `process'
    actionpack (5.0.0) lib/action_controller/test_case.rb:634:in `process_with_kwargs'
    actionpack (5.0.0) lib/action_controller/test_case.rb:381:in `get'
    test/controllers/users_controller_test.rb:230:in `block in &lt;class:UsersControllerTest&gt;'

The correct method of emptying a session is to use #clear rather than removing it from the request object.
