Minitest::DefaultHttpHeader

Set default HTTP headers in Rails integration tests.

Minitest version of rspec-default_http_header.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'minitest-default_http_header'

Usage

Use default_headers to set HTTP headers that are automatically included in every request:

class UsersApiTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
  setup do
    user = create(:user)
    default_headers['Authorization'] = user.token
  end

  test 'index' do
    get '/api/users.json'
    # Authorization header is sent automatically

    assert_response :success
  end
end

Per-request headers are merged with default headers:

class UsersApiTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
  setup do
    default_headers['Authorization'] = 'your-authorization-token'
  end

  test 'index as JSON' do
    get '/api/users', headers: {'Accept' => 'application/json'}
    # Both Authorization and Accept headers are sent

    assert_response :success
  end
end
