Hi Jack,
Thank you for the quick response. I am currently writing a request spec;
however, when I write “get '/api/v1/repairs', params: { id: repair.id }", I
get text/html returned and not JSON. Not only that no breakpoint gets
triggered in my controller.
I noticed that I can write this "get api_v1_path(repair)" instead and the
rspec will pass but as you mentioned, it seems I should use that syntax if
I write a feature spec.
Again thanks for your help.
Regards,
Deep
