rspec test a ruby on rails api protected with doorkeeper

Question

If you have succeeded in testing post, put, and delete http methods of a Rails API protected with the doorkeeper OAuth2 provider gem, please share and I'll give you the love. The doorkeeper wiki documentation and sample application show pretty well how to test a get method. I succeeded testing a post with something like what follows using the Capybara test driver with Cucumber. Failed to test any API that routes from put or delete. Failed to post using an rspec test. ``` @user = create :user @client = create(:oauth_application) @token = create(:oauth_token, :application => @client, :resource_owner_id => @user) json_for_new_entry = { date_attr: Time.now.to_date, decimal_attr: '1.1', string_attr: 'oath2, you make me blue', bool_attr: false, int_attr: 1 }.to_json page.driver.header 'Authorization', "Bearer #{@token.token}" page.driver.post api_entry_path, json_for_new_entry, 'CONTENT_TYPE' => 'application/json' ``` The factories are nothing special: ``` factory :user, :class => User do |…

Accepted Answer

You can use the example included in doorkeeper wiki as follow

```
describe Api::V1::ProfilesController do
  describe 'GET #index' do
    let(:token) { double :acceptable? => true }

before do
      controller.stub(:doorkeeper_token) { token }
      # allow(controller).to receive(:doorkeeper_token) {token} # => RSpec 3
    end

it 'responds with 200' do
      get :index, :format => :json
      response.status.should eq(200)
    end
  end
end
```
