Is it possible to specify a user agent in a rails integration test or spec?

Question

I was doing this before in a rails 2 app in a ActionController::IntegrationTest with

get '/', {}, {:user_agent => "Googlebot"} 

but this seems to not work anymore in Rails 3.

What should I do?

Answer 1

If you use request.user_agent in your application, you can write the following code:

get '/', {}, { "HTTP_USER_AGENT" => "Googlebot" } 

Answer 2

None of the above answers worked for me, the following is what finally worked in an rspec controller test:

@request.user_agent = "a MobileDevice/User-Agent" post :endpoint, param: 2354
