Can't send request headers in Minitest

Question

I'm trying to send a request with custom headers in Minitest:

get '/api/v1/tasks/all', nil, {:authorization => 'sdlfjkvnsdfljn'}

But for some reason request headers are not being sent. Here's the value of request.headers.env:

"{"rack.version"=>[1, 2], "rack.input"=>#<StringIO:0x000000055a55f0>, "rack.errors"=>#<StringIO:0x000000055a5708>, "rack.multithread"=>true, "rack.multiprocess"=>true, "rack.run_once"=>false,

How do I send request headers in Minitest?

Answer 1

For Rails 5/5.1 note the deprecation warning:

# DEPRECATION WARNING: Using positional arguments in integration tests has been deprecated, in favor of keyword arguments, and will be removed in Rails 5.1    
# Deprecated style:
get "/profile", { id: 1 }, { "X-Extra-Header" => "123" }

# New keyword style:
get "/profile", params: { id: 1 }, headers: { "X-Extra-Header" => "123" }

So you can use the headers: keyword argument like so

get v1_tasks_url, headers: { "HTTP_AUTHORIZATION" => "Token token=1111" }

Answer 2

You can change it to:

get '/api/v1/tasks/all', nil, { "HTTP_AUTHORIZATION" => "Token token=1111" }
