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

For those folks who work with request tests the easiest way I found is to override #process method in ActionDispatch::Integration::Session and set default as parameter to :json like this:

module DefaultAsForProcess
  def process(method, path, params: nil, headers: nil, env: nil, xhr: false, as: :json)
    super
  end
end

ActionDispatch::Integration::Session.prepend(DefaultAsForProcess)
