Consider integrating VCR-style testing for HTTP calls...

[brendandburns]

There is a Java library here:

https://github.com/betamaxteam/betamax

Similar to VCR for Ruby and VCR.py for Python.

It supports recording and playback of HTTP requests. We should consider using it to write a bunch of functional tests for this library.

Hi @brendanburns ,

Are there any examples out there on how to tests applications that use this library? is people only mocking responses?

@rpalcolea

Here are examples of using it in python:

https://vcrpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html

Sadly, it looks like the equivalent Java library (Betamax) has been abandoned.

We could just use Mockito to mock out the relevant HTTP calls.

But basically, the problem I'm trying to solve for is that our unit testing doesn't really cover most of our usage, and thus we have introduced bugs that are only found when users use the code.

Thanks for the response @brendanburns,

Yes... I thought about Betamax but go abandoned last year :(

In our case, we ended up using WireMock for our tests against the kubernetes API using the library... still it would be nice to have something like betamax

This is now done. For the record, I used WireMock
