VcrCable

This gem allows to use VCR in development. This is quite handy when your app interacts frequently with external services and you're on a sloppy connection, or when you want to save bandwidth, or when you happent to have no connection at all.

Usage

Add required gems to your Gemfile:

gem 'vcr_cable'
gem 'webmock' # or fakeweb

Now all external requests will hit the remote servers only one time, and the application will subsequently use the recorded data.

Custom VCR Configuration

The default VCR configuration values are (extracted from lib/vcr_cable.rb):

  DEFAULT_CONFIG = {
    'development' => {
      'hook_into' => :fakeweb,
      'cassette_library_dir' => 'development_cassettes',
      'allow_http_connections_when_no_cassette' => true
    }
  }

If you want to override those values you can generate the vcr_cable.yml config file and edit its params:

bundle exec rails generate vcr_cable

You will find the generated file in the config folder of your rails application.
