How can I test ActionCable channels using RSpec?

I am wondering how to test ActionCable channels.

Let\'s say I have the following chat channel:

class ChatChannel < ApplicationCable::Channel
  def s

You probably want to wait* for https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/23211 to be merged. It adds ActionCable::TestCase. Once that's merged, expect the rspec-rails team to do its part: https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/issues/1606

* Waiting is optional; You can not wait and based your own work on this "work in progress" and find a solution that works right now.
