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

Under describe block, include these modules

include Rack::Test::Methods
include ActionDispatch::TestProcess

Now try running the specs

path = 'path/to/fixture_file'
params = { "file" => Rack::Test::UploadedFile.new(path, 'application/pdf', true) }
post v1_product_documents_path, params: params

Also, I guess you forgot to add , between v1_product_documents_path and params: params, please add that and let me know.

Hope that helps!
