Setting request.raw_post with rspec-rails

Testing RSpec
1

… is there a way to do this? We have some REST-ish POSTs we’d like
to spec out. In the controller this gets accessed with
request.raw_post.to_s, is there a way to set this with rspec?

Thanks as always,
Francis

If you mean you want to set it in an example before the post, you can
do this:

request.stub!(:raw_post).and_return(‘this string’)
post :whatever

Or, if you want to be really detailed about it (I wouldn’t, but it’s
up to you), you could say:

raw_post = mock(‘raw_post’)
raw_post.should_receive(:to_s).and_return(‘this string’)
request.stub!(:raw_post).and_return(:raw_post)

etc

That what you’re looking for?

Cheers,
