I am testing a controller in rails using rspec. The response body is just the string of the response instance and not the actual response. My test is below.

require 'spec_helper'

describe CampusesController do
    render_views

    before(:each) do
        sign_in :auth_role, 'test@test.com', 'password'
    end

    it 'should retrieve all campuses as json' do
        FactoryGirl.create(:basic_campus)
        get 'index', :format => :json
        ap response.body
    end

end

response.body is the string “#<ActionDispatch::Response:0x007f87d6ee8800>”. How do I get the actual json response? When I go through the browser, it works fine.
