VALID_RECORD_MODES =

The supported record modes.

  • :all -- Record every HTTP interactions; do not play any back.
  • :none -- Do not record any HTTP interactions; play them back.
  • :new_episodes -- Playback previously recorded HTTP interactions and record new ones.
  • :once -- Record the HTTP interactions if the cassette has not already been recorded; otherwise, playback the HTTP interactions.

Constructor Details

#initialize(name, options = {}) ⇒ Cassette

Returns a new instance of Cassette.

Parameters:

  • name (#to_s) —

    The name of the cassette. VCR will sanitize this to ensure it is a valid file name.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    The cassette options. The given options will be merged with the configured default_cassette_options.

#clean_outdated_http_interactions ⇒ Boolean? (readonly)

#erb ⇒ Boolean, Hash (readonly)

Returns The cassette's ERB option. The file will be treated as an ERB template if this has a truthy value. A hash, if provided, will be used as local variables for the ERB template.

Returns:

  • (Boolean, Hash) —

    The cassette's ERB option. The file will be treated as an ERB template if this has a truthy value. A hash, if provided, will be used as local variables for the ERB template.

#match_requests_on ⇒ Array<Symbol, #call> (readonly)

Returns List of request matchers. Used to find a response from an existing HTTP interaction to play back.

Returns:

  • (Array<Symbol, #call>) —

    List of request matchers. Used to find a response from an existing HTTP interaction to play back.

#name ⇒ #to_s (readonly)

Returns The name of the cassette. Used to determine the cassette's file name.

Returns:

  • (#to_s) —

    The name of the cassette. Used to determine the cassette's file name.

#re_record_interval ⇒ Integer? (readonly)

#record_mode ⇒ Symbol (readonly)

Returns The record mode. Determines whether the cassette records HTTP interactions, plays them back, or does both.

Returns:

  • (Symbol) —

end

#record_on_error ⇒ Boolean (readonly)

Returns The cassette's record_on_error mode. When the code that uses the cassette raises an error (for example a test failure) and record_on_error is set to false, no cassette will be recorded. This is useful when you are TDD'ing an API integration: when an error is raised that often means your request is invalid, so you don't want the cassette to be recorded.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    The cassette's record_on_error mode. When the code that uses the cassette raises an error (for example a test failure) and record_on_error is set to false, no cassette will be recorded.

end

#file ⇒ String

Note:

VCR will take care of sanitizing the cassette name to make it a valid file name.

Returns The file for this cassette.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    The file for this cassette.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError) —

    if the configured cassette persister does not support resolving file paths.
