How do I set a default format in RSpec controller specs?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
Rails app has the controller with actions which response html and json formats. In specs I should specify format: 'json' for all requests:
it 'returns list of entities' do
get :list, format: 'json'
...
end
Is there a way to avoid write format: 'json' for every example? Something like this:
context 'json', format: 'json' do
it 'returns list of entities' do
get :list
...
end
end

This is adapted from https://stackoverflow.com/a/39399215/544825 but for controller specs.
Tested on: RSpec 3.8, Rails 5.2.1
This module uses metaprogramming to redefine the get, post etc methods and a memoized let helper (default_format) instead of metadata.
It basically just merges format: default_format into the arguments and calls the original implementation.
# spec/support/default_format.rb
module DefaultFormat
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
included do
let(:default_format) {}
prepend RequestHelpersCustomized
end
module RequestHelpersCustomized
l = lambda do |path, **kwargs|
kwargs[:format] ||= default_format if default_format
super(path, kwargs)
end
%w(get post patch put delete).each do |method|
define_method(method, l)
end
end
end
And then include this module in your rails_helper.rb or spec_helper.rb(if you only have one test setup file):
require 'support/default_format'
RSpec.configure do |config|
# ...
config.include DefaultFormat, type: :controller
# ...
end
Usage:
context 'json' do
let(:default_format) { :json }
end
I don't think this can be done with example metadata as its not available from within an example (which is where the get method is called).
