PUT- or POST-ing xml

Testing RSpec
1

I’d like to write a test of a REST service wherein XML is submitted as
the
request entity.

In Test::Unit on Rails, this seems to be possible in an integration
test,
but not in a functional test. RSpec uses the Rails functional test
framework, as far as I can tell, so it suffers the same result; it tries
to
symbolize the keys of the ‘parameters’ hash, except the parameters
aren’t a
hash:

instance_eval'each’
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.0.8/lib/spec/runner/command_line.rb:17:in
run' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rspec-1.0.8/bin/spec:3: /usr/bin/spec:16:inload’
/usr/bin/spec:16:

Finished in 0.594615 seconds

Thoughts? Has anyone found a way around this with the current (1.0.8)
RSpec? Is this something that is addressed by the Story Runner in
trunk?

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Story/Scenario Runner is indeed your solution. For Rails apps it wraps
rails integration tests.
