Using this gem causes VCR to record all HTTP interactions into separate files in a predictable directory structure. This allows you to maintain an archive of HTTP responses. It also stores the response body in a separate file for easier diffing.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'vcr-archive'
And then execute:
bundle
Or install it yourself as:
gem install vcr-archive
require 'vcr/archive'
require 'open-uri'
VCR.configure do |config|
config.hook_into :webmock
config.cassette_serializers[:vcr_archive] = VCR::Archive::Serializer
config.cassette_persisters[:vcr_archive] = VCR::Archive::Persister
config.default_cassette_options = { serialize_with: :vcr_archive, persist_with: :vcr_archive }
end
VCR::Archive::Persister.storage_location = '/tmp'
VCR.use_cassette('vcr_cassettes/readme_example') do
response = open('http://example.org/').read
# ...
end
After running this the response from http://example.org/ will be archived into the directory given as an argument to VCR.use_cassette
.
make
docker-compose run vcr-archive
