If you're really concerned about it, you could also mock respond_to:
format = mock("format")
format.should_receive(:json).and_return("this text")
controller.should_receive(:respond_to).and_yield(format)
get 'path/to/file', :format => 'json'
That seems a bit implementation heavy, but it might give you the
feeling of confidence you're looking for.
