Stub global cookies variable in Rspec Rails test
The Rspec test looks like this:
RSpec.describe Api::UsersController, type: :controller do
describe 'POST #create' do
subject { post :create, params: create_params }
context '...' do
In the controller, I use:
cookies.permanent[:foo] == 'bar'
However, I'm getting:
NameError:
undefined local variable or method `cookies' for #<Api::UsersController:0x000000137702f0>
Another SO question has an answer that says to add type: :request to describe, but this causes other errors. I'd rather just completely stub out cookies so cookies.permanent[:foo] == 'bar' is always false. How do I do that?

By default controllers in rails-api don't include the middleware that handles cookies. If you need cookies then you need to add that middleware:
config.middleware.use ActionDispatch::Cookies
For the above problem, you need to include
ActionController::Cookies
in your spec files
