= RSpec HTTP 0.11.0
(c) Copyright 2010-2011 {C42 Engineering}[http://c42.in]. All Rights Reserved.
RSpec HTTP is a RSpec extension library that adds support for writing specs that cover HTTP based APIs (or more popularly, RESTful APIs).
To use this library, first add the rspec-http gem to your Gemfile like so:
gem 'rspec-http'
Then add the following line to your spec_helper.rb:
require 'rspec/http'
This will make matchers such as the ones listed below available to you in your specs.
expect(response).to be_http_ok
expect(response).to be_http_created
expect(response).to be_http_unprocessable_entity
expect(response).to be_http_im_a_teapot
expect(response).to have_header('Content-Type')
expect(response).to have_header('Content-Type' => 'application/json')
expect(response).to have_header('Content-Type' => /json/)
== Rails
If you're using Rails (and implicitly, rspec-rails), the same http code matchers will also be available in your controller specs without the http
namespace.
In other words, in your controller specs you can do:
expect(response).to be_ok
expect(response).to be_created
expect(response).to be_unprocessable_entity
expect(response).to be_im_a_teapot
