How to upload a file in a Rails Rspec request spec

Question

I want to test uploading a file in a Rails Rspec request test. I\'m using Paperclip for asset storage.

I\'ve tried:

path = \'path/to/fixture_file\'
para         


        

Answer 1

try to use fixture_file_upload: fixture_file_upload

or if you wanted to use this in a factory

 Rack::Test::UploadedFile.new(File.open(File.join(Rails.root, '/spec/fixtures/images/bob-weir.jpg')))
