# SerialSpec

SerialSpec is designed provide some simple matchers and macros overlaying a simple `rack/test` setup for testing json apis more effectively.

## Usage

```ruby
require "spec_helper"

RSpec.describe "test" do
  include SerialSpec

  request_method "GET"
  request_path   "/"

  it_expects(:content_encoding) { expect(status).to eq(200) }
  it_expects(:content_type)     { expect(status).to eq(200) }
end
```

## 0.2.0 - planned

- [x] `request_response`
- [x] `with_request`
- [x] `it_expects`
- [x] better response selector support
- [ ] provides_matcher

## Testing architecture

SerialSpec is assuming that you are:

1. setting up preconditions
2. executing 1 request
3. inspecting the response

If you need more requests you should be using mocks and stubs.

### "But I need more than one request?"

SerialSpec, unlike rails' out of the box request testing system is closer to a controller test, than rails' request test, which is more kin to an integration test.  Some people recommend using actual requests for performing things like login, auth vs mocking.  However, this library doesn't subscribe to that pattern.  If you aren't ok with that, you should look elsewhere.
