RSpec Request - How to set http authorization header for all requests

Question

I\'m using rspec request to test a JSON API that requires an api-key in the header of each request.

I know I can do this:

get \"/v1/users/janedoe.json\"         


        

Answer 1

I know that this question has already been answered but here's my take on it. Something which worked for me:

request.headers['Authorization'] = token

instead of:

request.env['Authorization'] = token
