How to set request headers in rspec request spec?

Question

In the controller spec, I can set http accept header like this:

request.accept = \"application/json\"

but in the request spec, \"request\"

Answer 1

Using rspec with Rack::Test::Methods

header 'X_YOUR_HEADER_VAR', 'val'
get '/path'

The header var will come through as X-Your-Header-Var
