This is more or less a note that I am aware of it and going (to attempt) to fix. The problem only exists in 7.6. Testing in 7.5 still works fine. The macro itself does not seem to be affected.

The cause of failure is that users created in the testing function do not appear in the userSession table any longer.

The code responsible for getting users in into the userSession table i

t/Macro/UsersOnline.t
...
183        $session->user({user => $_});
184        WebGUI::Session::Var->new($session);
...

WebGUI::Session::Var->new, again, calls WebGUI::Session::Var->start, which should make an entry in the database:

lib/Session/Var.pm
...
244    $self->{_var} = {
245        expires      => $time + $self->session->setting->get("sessionTimeout"),
246        lastPageView => $time,
247        lastIP       => $self->session->env->getIp,
248        adminOn      => 0,
249        userId       => $userId
250    };
251    $self->{_var}{sessionId} = $sessionId;
252    $self->session->db->setRow("userSession","sessionId",$self->{_var},$sessionId);
...

So far I have no idea why this does not work any longer. The db connection must be fine, since everything else does work. Doug has already suggested to have a look at WebGUI::Session::open, which I am going to do next. But maybe some of you can tell me straight what the problem is. Any help appreciated!
