Automate the recording and play-back of HTTP requests with the nock framework.
npm install nock-vcr#Nock-VCR
Like the Ruby [VCR][VCR] gem, record your test-suite's HTTP interactions
and replay them during future runs for speedy, deterministic, and
accurate tests. Built atop [nock][nock]'s testing and recording
capability.
``sh`
npm install nock-vcr
In your tests, require nock-vcr. Then use insertCassette to
mark the start of where recording - and later playback - should begin
and ejectCassette where it should end. Recorded "cassettes"
\- [nock][nock] code to mock the transactions - will be saved undertest/cassettes!
For example:
`coffeescript
nvcr = require 'nock-vcr'
fs = require 'fs'
http = require 'http'
requestComplete = false
describe 'using nock-vcr', ->
context 'insert a cassette, and eject it when it is done', ->
beforeEach (done)->
nvcr.insertCassette 'Your cassette name here'
options = method: 'GET', host: 'google.com', port: 80, path: '/'
http.request(options, (res)=>
res.on 'end', =>
requestComplete = true
nvcr.ejectCassette()
done()
).end()
it 'creates a cassette', ->
expect(requestComplete).to.be.true
``
You can force nock-vcr to record all the time by passing and setting arecord option of insertCassette to the string'ALL', or by setting the environment variableNOCK_VCR_MODE to the same value.
Currently this runs on top of [a modified version of nock][my-nock]
that corrects a bug in the code generated during recording as well as a
way to re-activate mocking after a restore.
* More options that can affect the recording behavior.
* Hooks into popular testing frameworks.
