Rack::Test::Accepts

Helpers for rack-test that mean I don't need to remember the accept header syntax, or whether to prepend HTTP to them.

Build status

Master branch: Build Status

Why?

Just to make life a bit easier.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rack-test-accepts'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rack-test-accepts

Usage

It's easy to add this in where it's needed by including it via the RSpec config:

require 'rack/test/accepts'

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include Rack::Test::Accepts, :type => :request

then:

describe "My route", :type => :request do
  let(:body) { { :key => "abcdef" }.to_json }
  before do
    post '/channel/create', body, env(:accepts_json)
  end

It will work for any of the mime types listed in Rack::Mime::MIME_TYPES e.g.

get "/", {}, env(:accepts_zip)
put "/", {}, env(:accepts_xml)
delete "/", {}, env(:accepts_asm)

or whichever crazy format your routes want to accept.
