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

To send both xhr: true and headers, I had to do e.g.:

my_headers = { "HTTP_ACCEPT": "application/json" }
get my_path, xhr: true, headers: my_headers
