SerialSpec is designed provide some simple matchers and macros overlaying a simple rack/test
setup for testing json apis more effectively. There are a few good requirements to get you going:
- Rspec 3.x. This gem uses (or will use) several parts of rspecs syntax.
- Json api
- ActiveModelSerializers
- Single request testing pattern test architecture.
see examples.
SerialSpec is assuming that you are:
- setting up preconditions
- executing 1 request
- inspecting the response
If you need more requests you should be using mocks and stubs.
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.
