rvcr

Record-and-replay testing middleware for reqwest http client.

Inspired by:

• Ruby-VCR
• Surf-VCR

Builds on top of:

• reqwest-middleware
• VCR-cassette

Examples

To record HTTP requests, initialize client like following

  use std::path::PathBuf;
  use reqwest::Client;
  use reqwest_middleware::{ClientBuilder, ClientWithMiddleware};
  use rvcr::{VCRMiddleware, VCRMode};

  let mut bundle = PathBuf::from(env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR"));
  bundle.push("tests/resources/replay.vcr.json");

  let middleware: VCRMiddleware = VCRMiddleware::try_from(bundle.clone())
      .unwrap()
      .with_mode(VCRMode::Record);

  let vcr_client: ClientWithMiddleware = ClientBuilder::new(reqwest::Client::new())
      .with(middleware)
      .build();

Now ClientWithMiddleware instance will be recording requests to a file located in tests/resources/replay.vcr.json inside the project.

To use recorded VCR cassette files, replace .with_mode(VCRMode::Record) with .with_mode(VCRMode::Replay), or omit it, since replay is used by default.

Search mode

When replaying, rVCR can skip requests already found when searching for subsequent requests (the default). To disable skipping requests, which is useful, for example, if requests are done in parallel and responses may come in random order, use .with_search(VCRReplaySearch::SearchAll).
