curl - Rails 4 Api Users Post test failing -

i'm building blog in rails 4.2 api (for angular front end). i'm adding in users devise (overkill know), , controller tests pass everything. when try curl post request or try create user angular app, 406 not acceptable status code.

here create controller method:

def create     user = user.new(user_params)     if user.save         render json: user, status: 201     else         render json: { errors: user.errors }, status: 422     end end  private def user_params     params.require(:user).permit(:email, :password, :password_confirmation) end 

i able create users rails console without problem.

here curl command keep trying:

curl -i -h 'accept: application/json' -h 'content-type: application/json' -x post -d '{"email":"person@mail.com","password":"12345678","password_confirmation":"12345678"}' http://api.myapi.dev/users 

and have resource too:

api_users post   /users(.:format)                            api/users#create {:subdomain=>"api"} 

i can update user, , perform other action curl without issue, don't see problem here. appreciated.

according w3, 406 response is:

the resource identified request capable of generating response entities have content characteristics not acceptable according accept headers sent in request.

so when use curl, don't need send -h 'accept: application/json' -h 'content-type: application/json, rails automatically render json result you. because have specified format.json in controller.

rails expects send data in following way:

{ "users": { "email", "person@mail.com" }, ... } 

while not sending users when hit server curl command.
