RSpec::JsonExpectations

Build Status

Set of matchers and helpers for RSpec 3 to allow you test your JSON API responses like a pro.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rspec-json_expectations'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rspec-json_expectations

Setup

Simply add this line at the top of your spec helper:

require "rspec/json_expectations"

Usage

Simple example:

require "spec_helper"

RSpec.describe "User API" do
  subject { api_get :user }

  it "has basic info about user" do
    expect(subject).to include_json(
      id: 25,
      email: "john.smith@example.com",
      name: "John"
    )
  end

  it "has some additional info about user" do
    expect(subject).to include_json(
      premium: "gold",
      gamification_score: 79
    )
  end
end

And the output when I run it is:

FF
