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

This worked for me Rails 4.0.3 and Rspec 2.14.1 if anyone is looking for more recent versions.

put '/projects/1.json', {name: 'Updated Project 1'}, {
  'HTTP_ACCEPT' => 'application/json',
  'CONTENT_TYPE' => 'application/json'
}

and

wrap_parameters Project, format: :json
