How to use HTTP status code symbols in RSpec?

Question

I use HTTP status code symbols in code in a controller such as:

render json: {
    auth_token: user.authentication_t         


        

Answer 1

With rspec-rails (as of rspec 3) it's possible to use

expect(response).to have_http_status(:created)

Update 2018-06-11:

As of Rails 6, some of the matchers will be replaced (e. g. success by successful).
