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

Rails 5 no hacks:

put(:update,
    params: {project_id: 1},
    body: {name: 'Updated Project 1'}.to_json,
    as: :json)

This sets the content_type correctly. In the controller params will hold both params and body.
