Suppress first request or mock a couple of requests from single cassette

[lessless]

Hello,

The situation is that prior to performing request under test library must obtain a token from the service provider (do an OAuth authentication), which basically means that there will always be 2 requests.
Is it possible to ignore this first request or mock it within same cassette?

Hello,

Single cassette can contain multiple http requests and responses. When replaying, one response among multiple ones, will be returned based on the request parameters. The following is one example.

• https://github.com/parroty/exvcr/blob/master/test/adapter_ibrowse_test.exs#L20
• https://github.com/parroty/exvcr/blob/master/fixture/vcr_cassettes/example_ibrowse_multiple.json

Does this cover your scenario?

I'm not so clear about "ignore this first request" scenario though. What would be the expected behavior when replaying for the first request?

@parroty as you see topic changed a couple of times - it wasn't clear here as well and I just played with all possible options.
Multiple requests inside one use_cassette block totally covers my scenario. Thank you for the work!

Understood, thanks for the explanation.
