Feature: request spec Request specs provide a thin wrapper around Rails' integration tests, and are designed to drive behavior through the full stack, including routing (provided by Rails) and without stubbing (that's up to you). With request specs, you can: * specify a single request * specify multiple requests across multiple controllers * specify multiple requests across multiple sessions Check the rails documentation on integration tests for more information. RSpec provides two matchers that delegate to Rails assertions: render_template # delegates to assert_template redirect_to # delegates to assert_redirected_to Check the Rails docs for details on these methods as well. [Capybara](http://github.com/jnicklas/capybara) is no longer supported in request specs as of Capybara 2.0.0. The recommended way to use Capybara is with [feature specs](../feature-specs/feature-spec). Scenario: specify managing a Widget with Rails integration methods Given a file named "spec/requests/widget_management_spec.rb" with: """ruby require "spec_helper" describe "Widget management" do it "creates a Widget and redirects to the Widget's page" do get "/widgets/new" expect(response).to render_template(:new) post "/widgets", :widget => {:name => "My Widget"} expect(response).to redirect_to(assigns(:widget)) follow_redirect! expect(response).to render_template(:show) expect(response.body).to include("Widget was successfully created.") end end """ When I run `rspec spec/requests/widget_management_spec.rb` Then the example should pass
