Question

I’m trying to integrate rspec_api_documentation (https://github.com/zipmark/rspec_api_documentation) into my sinatra app. I’m running into the error below. I’ve obviously simplified the error down to a bare test, because I think once I figure out what is wrong in the configuration, it’ll work once reintegrated into my larger app.

Thanks!

In app.rb:

require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'

get '/index' do
  "hewoah!"
end

In spec.rb:

require "rspec_api_documentation"
require "rspec_api_documentation/dsl"

RspecApiDocumentation.configure do |config|
#  config.app = App
end

resource "Users" do
  get "/index" do
    example "Returns text" do
      do_request
      status.should be_ok
    end
  end
end

To get your bare application registered you’ll need to set the app to the Sinatra::Application:

specApiDocumentation.configure do |config|
#  config.app = App 
end

To:

specApiDocumentation.configure do |config|
   config.app = Sinatra::Application
end
