How to use HTTP status code symbols in RSpec?

Question

I use HTTP status code symbols in code in a controller such as:

render json: {
    auth_token: user.authentication_t

On the one hand, response is built with methods like:

• success?

• redirect?

• unprocessable?

• full list do: response.methods.grep(/\?/)

On the other hand, Rspec predicates transforms every foo? method to a be_foo matcher.

Not sure you can have the 201 this way unfortunately, but creating a custom matcher is quite easy.

Note Rails test only rely on a few statuses.
