How do you test an AJAX request with RSpec/RoR?

Question

I\'m fairly new to RoR and recently started learning BDD/Rspec for testing my application. I\'ve been looking for a way to spec an AJAX request, but so far I haven\'t found

Answer 1

If you're talking about testing it inside your controller specs, where you normally call

get :index

to make an HTTP request to the index action, you would instead call

xhr :get, :index

to make an XmlHttpRequest (AJAX) request to the index action using GET.
