describe \'Users\', type: :request do
  it \'are created from ext

Here's a little addendum to Sergio's answer. If you are upgrading from Rails 4 to Rails 5, have lots of tests, and aren't too keen on changing them all – at least not until you've finished upgrading – I've found a way to make them work with the old method signature.

In my spec_helper I added

module FixLegacyTestRequests
  def get(path, par = {}, hdr = {})
    process(:get, path, params: par, headers: hdr)
  end
  def post(path, par = {}, hdr = {})
    process(:post, path, params: par, headers: hdr)
  end
  def put(path, par = {}, hdr = {})
    process(:put, path, params: par, headers: hdr)
  end
  def delete(path, par = {}, hdr = {})
    process(:delete, path, params: par, headers: hdr)
  end
end

and then I added this configuration for each test:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.before :each do |example|
    extend(FixLegacyTestRequests) # to be removed at some point!
  end
end

My tests went back to working, and I think it should be safe because it's only applied to the currently running test and shouldn't pollute any gem's code such as with a monkey patch.
