VCR-FakeFS

For use with the VCR and FakeFS gems.

Record your vcr cassettes to the real file system, even when using FakeFS.

Without VCR-FakeFS, if you use both VCR and FakeFS, FakeFS works as you intend, but while it's activated, VCR's cassettes from your real file system won't exist, and network calls won't be saved to your real FS, defeating the purpose of using it. VCR-FakeFS keeps FakeFS the same, and makes sure VCR uses your real file system for storage.

Install

Using bundler

gem 'vcr-fakefs'

Manually

$ gem install vcr-fakefs

Require the gem before your tests:

require 'vcr-fakefs'

Usage / How does it work?

By default, you don't need to do anything extra besides require the gem.

VCR-FakeFS configures VCR automatically to use an alternative file system persister, which will use FakeFS's without tactic to bypass the fake file system to use VCR's original (real) file system persister.

If you want it to work differently (e.g. not automatically), just open an issue on Github.

Thanks

Thank you to Myron Marston (@myronmarston) and Mark Van de Vyver (@taqtiqa-mark), for the enormously helpful conversation here.

Thank you to to Brian Donovan (@eventualbuddha) for pointing out how easily this could be done with FakeFS.
