Mr. Video

Rails-based front-end for the popular VCR gem. It allows you to browse cassettes and episodes. HTTP body content from episodes can be viewed in the browser, enabling easy debugging of JSON and HTML. Furthermore, cassettes and episodes can be deleted, allowing for easy maintenance of recorded content. While Mr. Video is mainly meant to be used in your development environment, it can be configured for production and is not directly dependent on the VCR gem.

Compatibility

Mr. Video is tested against MRI (1.9.3+).

Installation

Mr. Video is a Rails Engine and is primarily meant to be used in your development environment.

Add it to your Gemfile.

# Gemfile

group :development do
  gem 'mr_video'
end

Configure the location of your VCR cassettes directory.

# config/initializers/mr_video.rb

if Rails.env.development? && defined?(MrVideo)
  MrVideo.configure do |config|
    config.cassette_library_dir = 'spec/fixtures/vcr_cassettes'
  end
end

Mount it in your config/routes.rb.

# config/routes.rb

MyApp::Application.routes.draw do

  if Rails.env.development?
    require 'mr_video'
    mount MrVideo::Engine => '/mr_video'
  end

end
