Add values to Session during testing (FakeRequest, FakeApplication)

Question

I'm trying to build some tests around a method that reads some data from the session.

I tried extending FakeRequest and overriding the session value, but I get an error on compilation saying that session has to be a val when overriden, which won't work.

How can I modify a FakeRequest() to add values to the session?
