Request format in functional tests

How do I set the request format in a functional test?

I'm trying to do something like:

开发者_C百科

get :show, :id => '1', :format => :xml

but that doesn't work.

For some reason you can't use symbols to define the format in tests, you must use the string version.

get :show, :id => '1', :format => 'xml'
