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

A lot of frustration and variations and that's what worked for me. Rails 3.2.12 Rspec 2.10

 @request.env["HTTP_ACCEPT"] = "application/json"
 @request.env["CONTENT_TYPE"] = "application/json"
 put :update, :id => 1, "email" => "bing@test.com"
