rspec users - Aug 2011 - Rspec teting API.

Hi!

Guys, I wanna test an API built in Rails 3.0.3.

So, my question is... What''s the better way to test my own api?

I guess that a requests specs like these:

describe ''POST /client''
 it ''works'' do
  assert_difference post ''/clients'', :client => {...}
 end
end

can be appropriate...

Someone just tested an API? I mean... simulate the requests to API.
Tks!

Your controller specs should suffice for API specs.

Is there anything specific you want to do beyond assert the response code,
content type and some basic assertions against the body of the response?

You may want to take a look at http://github.com/c42/rspec-http for
asserting against response codes and some headers.

Best,
Sidu.
