When writing SUnit tests on Seaside components, I usually override #performTest with something like:

performTest
    | context |
    context := WARequestContext request: nil response: nil.
    context push: session while: [ super performTest ]

... where `session` is an instance variable that gets configured in #setUp. You can also configure the request/response if you need to.

I hope that helps. You might get a better answer on the general Seaside list.
