[rspec-users] HTTP Status 406 When Testing :json

Hello all,

My first question, in my controllers, do I need to test respond_to is
returning the correct data for its mime-type?

In my controller spec I have

it "creates a list of available types for that category" do
      xhr :get, :index_available, :category_id => 1, :format => :json
      assigns[:types].should have(1).record
end

and in my logs I see (406 Not acceptable....)

Processing TypesController#index_available to json (for 0.0.0.0 at
2011-05-02 13:20:01) [GET]
  Parameters: {"category_id"=>"1"}
Completed in 1ms (View: 0, DB: 0) | *406* Not Acceptable [
http://test.host/categories/1/types/index_available.json]
  SQL (0.1ms)   ROLLBACK
  SQL (0.0ms)   BEGIN

But I get a green pass.

If I change :format => :json to ''json'', I get a load of
errors (which I have
mentioned before on this list but haven''t had time to address the
situation)

So, two pronged question, do I need to test :json (seeing as I''m not
testing
the contents) and can anyone shed any light on my 406 and/or the errors when
changing the format to ''json''

Many thanks

[rspec-users] HTTP Status 406 When Testing :json

Hi,

When testing Rails APIs, always assert on response codes and where
relevant, the Location, Content-Type and other headers. We wound up
doing this on every single project and so extracted it into a gem that
you might find useful: https://github.com/c42/rspec-http

Best,
Sidu.

[rspec-users] HTTP Status 406 When Testing :json

By the way, asserting on the response code will only help ensure that
you don''t get green specs
even though you''re request fails with a 406 (or something similar).
You''re getting a 406
because whatever the Accepts header is on that request
(''application/json'' I''d presume) does not have a
responds_to clause
that matches it. Not sure about :json vs ''json.''

I forgot to add my controller as I render the json inline and not in a
template. I wonder if this has a bearing?!

  def index_available
    @types = @category.types.available

    respond_to do |format|
      format.json { render :json => @types.to_json(:only => [:id, :name])
}
      format.html
    end

  end
