Generating Executable API Documentation for Ruby on Rails with RSwag

June 9, 2025 A structured exposition with illustrative examples Abstract Accurate, current, and machine-readable documentation is a prerequisite for reliable consumption of web APIs. While manual Swagger (OpenAPI) definitions quickly diverge from production behaviour, RSwag bridges this gap by synthesising documentation directly from integration tests written in RSpec. This article (i) situates RSwag within the … Continue reading Generating Executable API Documentation for Ruby on Rails with RSwag →

Simulating External APIs in RSpec: A Clean Approach Using WebMock

June 6, 2025 Abstract When testing systems that depend on external services, such as geolocation APIs, simulating HTTP responses becomes essential for building deterministic and isolated test suites. This article explores a disciplined approach to mocking HTTP calls in RSpec using WebMock—without relying on custom helpers or implicit abstractions. Instead, we emphasize clean code principles: … Continue reading Simulating External APIs in RSpec: A Clean Approach Using WebMock →
