I have implemented an API to be used like
curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/xml' -d '<user><login>john</
<password>123456</password></user>' http://0.0.0.0:3000/users/register
and the above call works like charm. However, I can't figure out how to test this. The best I could come up with is using an integration test like:
def test_user_registration
assert_difference('User.count') do xml = '<user> <login>phibo</login> <email>phibo@wonderland.org</email> <password>somesecret</password> </user>'
post_via_redirect 'users/register', :user => xml, :content_type => 'application/xml' end end
This test actually calls the correct method on the users_controller, however, the params[:user] yields unparsed XML instead of the usual hash. Any idea how to do this?
(Yes, I do plan to use cucumber, rspec and webrat in the future, but for now I have to do it the hard way..)
