I\'ve tried:

For rails 6 no need to do includes, just fixture_file_upload. If you are using spec/fixtures/files folder for fixtures you can use file_fixture helper

let(:csv_file) { fixture_file_upload(file_fixture('file_example.csv')) }

subject(:http_request) { post upload_file_path, params: { file: csv_file } }
