Specifying Content Type in rspec

Question

I\'m trying to build an rspec test that sends JSON (or XML) via POST. However, I can\'t seem to actually get it working:

    json = {.... data ....}.to_json
         


        

Answer 1

There's a way to do this described in this thread -- it's a hack, but it seems to work:

@request.env["HTTP_ACCEPT"] = "application/json"
json = { ... data ... }.to_json
post :create, :some_param => json
