Setting Content-Type header for RSpec and Rails-API

Question

I\'m using the rails-api gem to build a web service and want to test my API with RSpec. Every request I make, regardless of the HTTP method has the CONTENT_TYPE hea

Answer 1

A lot of frustration and variations and that's what worked for me. Rails 3.2.12 Rspec 2.10

 @request.env["HTTP_ACCEPT"] = "application/json"
 @request.env["CONTENT_TYPE"] = "application/json"
 put :update, :id => 1, "email" => "bing@test.com"

wrap_parameters seems to be working declared this way

wrap_parameters User, format: :json

being used for User model
