devise redirects instead of json response in rspec
Question
I had overridden default responding in devise which renders json instead of html template. It works fine when I test it with curl or postman, but when it comes to test it with rspec. I have read infos how to test controllers with devise from readme.md, so that it works fine with logging into, but does not work when I want to test unauthenticated request.
Response received:
<html><body>You are being <a href=\"http://test.host/users/sign_in\">redirected</a>.</body></html>
instead of:
{"error":"You need to sign in or sign up before continuing."}
app/controllers/playlists_controller.rb:
class PlaylistsController < ApplicationController
before_action :authenticate_user!
def index
render json: Playlist.all
end
end
app/controllers/sessions_controller.rb:
class SessionsController < Devise::SessionsController
clear_respond_to
respond_to :json
end
spec/controllers/playlists_controller_spec.rb:
require 'rails_helper'
describe PlaylistsController do
context 'when user is not signed in' do
it 'returns authorization error message' do
get :index
expect(response.body).to eq 'some message here'
end
end
end
spec/support/devise.rb
RSpec.configure do |config|
config.include Devise::TestHelpers, type: :controller
end

In Rails 5, the only way I could get the controller action to process as JSON was :
get :action, params: { format: :json, ... }
Hope this can help !

您可以定义FailureApp或使用条件过滤器，两者都在类似问题的答案中提出： https : //stackoverflow.com/a/10042104/580346

The reason it doesn't work in your controller test and does work in curl is because you aren't hitting the :index with format of :json (which you've written logic to respond_to :json ).
Change this
it 'returns authorization error message' do
get :index
...
end
to this
it 'returns authorization error message' do
get :index, format: :json
...
end
