How to simulate a POST request in Ruby with the webmock gem? - ruby

Question

I am trying to simulate a POST request with rspec. I thought about using the webmock gem, after searching how it worked, my code looks like this:
Gist_Request_spec.rb:
require_relative '../Gist_Request.rb'
require 'spec_helper'
require 'webmock'
include WebMock::API
WebMock.enable!
RSpec.describe GistRequest do
describe "#post" do
it "crear gist" do
stub_request(:post, "https://api.github.com/gists").
with(
body: {"description" => "description","public" => true,"files" => { "file.txt" => { "content" => "content" }}},
headers: {
'Accept'=>'*/*',
'Accept-Encoding'=>'gzip;q=1.0,deflate;q=0.6,identity;q=0.3',
'Authorization'=>'Basic Sm9lbEFsYXlvbjEyMzo0NzVmYjI1ZWU0MGQyNGQzZGM1NWQ0MzQ5YjI4MTU3MjM1ZjdmZDBk',
'Host'=>'api.github.com',
'User-Agent'=>'Ruby'}).to_return(status: 201, body: "", headers: {})
expect(WebMock).to have_requested(:post, "https://api.github.com/gists").with { |req| req.status == 201 }
end
end
end
I added code to my file spec_helper.rb and now it looks like this:
The first lines spec_helper.rb:
require 'webmock/rspec'
WebMock.disable_net_connect!(allow_localhost: true)
But when I run rspec spec/Gist_Request_spec.rb, it returns the following error:
GistRequest
#post
crear gist (FAILED - 1)
Failures:
1) GistRequest#post crear gist
Failure/Error: expect(WebMock).to have_requested(:post, "https://api.github.com/gists").with { |req| req.status == 201 }
The request POST https://api.github.com/gists with given block was expected to execute 1 time but it executed 0 times
The following requests were made:
No requests were made.
