Set Rspec default GET request format to JSON

Question

I am doing functional tests for my controllers with Rspec. I have set my default response format in my router to JSON, so every request without a suffix will return JSON.

Answer 1

Perhaps you could add the first answer into spec/spec_helper or spec/rails_helper with this:

config.before(:each) do
  request.env["HTTP_ACCEPT"] = 'application/json' if defined? request
end

if in model test (or any not exist request methods context), this code just ignore. it worked with rspec 3.1.7 and rails 4.1.0 it should be worked with all rails 4 version generally speaking.
