Post to another controller in Request Specs

[ahmed....@imerir.com]

Hello i have two controllers : 

CalendarsController and EventsController

I'm writing a request spec where i try to create an event but before that i should create a Calendar to get an id.

So i do in my requests specs : 

RSpec.describe "Event Management", :type => request do 

context "with access token" do

  it "creates a calendar"

    post calendars_create_path, params: {name: "test"}

    expect(response.status).to eq(201)

  end

end

and in the create method of calendars controller i do : 

render json: @data, status: response.status

When i test the same test from above in the Calendars Controller spec it works fine and i get the right status code (201)

But in the requests specs it sends back a 307 http redirect code (it triest to redirect to GET /calendars/create) for some reasons even tho i have this in routes.rb : 

          calendars_index GET      /calendars/index(.:format)           calendars#index

            calendars_new GET      /calendars/new(.:format)             calendars#new

         calendars_create POST     /calendars/create(.:format)          calendars#create

         calendars_update PATCH    /calendars/update(.:format)          calendars#update

        calendars_destroy DELETE   /calendars/destroy(.:format)         calendars#destroy

           calendars_show GET      /calendars/show(.:format)            calendars#show

           calendars_edit GET      /calendars/edit(.:format)            calendars#edit

         calendars_delete GET      /calendars/delete(.:format)          calendars#delete

so i don't understand why its trying to redirect. Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance.

Does your controller support both HTML and JSON responses?

Based on your snippets you aren't setting the Accept header in the request. If a default format isn't set in the routes then Rails will assume HTML. If the controller then checks the format it will use the HTML response path.

Ok this was solved, weird issue. I used microsoft ruby sample office 365 project as a starting project, and the post couldn't work. So i made a new project and copied my code from ruby sample project to new created project and it works.

Glad you worked it out. Without knowing which tutorial it's hard to say what the root cause was for sure. I did see this sample project which has a `CalendarController` (https://github.com/jasonjoh/o365-tutorial). Looking at that they expect a form of auth to be set in the request. If it's not present it redirects. That's another possible reason why the request spec was redirecting.
