Set Rspec default GET request format to JSON
functional-testing, rspec, ruby-on-rails
Solution
before :each do
request.env["HTTP_ACCEPT"] = 'application/json'
end
Problem
I am doing functional tests for my controllers with Rspec. I have set my default response format in my router to JSON, so every request without a suffix will return JSON. Now in rspec, i get an error (406) when i try ``` get :index ``` I need to do ``` get :index, :format => :json ``` Now because i am primarily supporting JSON with my API, it is very redundant having to specify the JSON format for every request. Can i somehow set it to default for all my GET requests? (or all requests)
