vcr reviews and mentions

• Build a Currency Exchange Service in Ruby on Rails
  1 project | dev.to | 18 Dec 2024

  RSpec.describe CurrencyExchange do describe '.list' do it 'returns structured currency data' do VCR.use_cassette('currency_layer_list') do # https://github.com/vcr/vcr currencies = described_class.list expect(currencies).to all(be_a(described_class::GlobalCurrency)) end end it 'handles API failures gracefully' do allow(described_class).to receive(:get).and_return( double(success?: false) ) expect(described_class.list).to eq([]) end end end

• MailCatcher runs a super simple SMTP server

  Not the same thing, bit VCR and variants can help with testing external api calls (see "ports to other languages"):

• Effective Strategies for Writing Unit Tests with External Dependencies like Databases and APIs
  6 projects | dev.to | 14 Nov 2024

  For network-dependent code, libraries like nock (JavaScript) or VCR (Ruby) allow you to record and replay network interactions. This ensures that tests are repeatable and do not require real network calls, while still testing how your code behaves when interacting with external services.

• Adding Jest To Explainer.js
  6 projects | dev.to | 7 Nov 2024

  I'm a huge supporter for TDD(Test Driven Development). Almost every piece code should be tested. During my co-op more than half of the time I spent writing test for my PR. I believe that experience really helped me understand the necessity of testing. I was surprised to see how similar the testing framework in JS and Ruby are. I used Jest which is very similar to RSpec I have used during my co-op. To mock http resquest I used Nock kinda similar to something called VCR.

• Ruby VCR: Record test HTTP interactions and replay them
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 16 May 2024
• Creating integration tests for a backend legacy codebase
  2 projects | dev.to | 11 Apr 2023

  Basically, it's a record/replay tool, similar to VCR for Ruby, but on steroids and powered by AI (khm GPT khm).

• I isolated the entire codebase from external data sources and made a generator of automated tests
  2 projects | /r/ExperiencedDevs | 6 Apr 2023

  I don't think it's right to say "pythagora generates integration tests". It's more of a "replay manual tests as fixtured unit tests," which makes it similar to (but more powerful than) VCR for Ruby HTTP. What I've always wanted for these kinds of "request recorders" is a way to re-validate the test fixtures over time.

• Write SDK “base” in Rust, wrap in other languages?
  11 projects | /r/rust | 31 Mar 2023

  For example, they might expect to be able to mock calls to your API with something like VCR or Responses.

• How to unit test your database interactions with Docker
  4 projects | /r/golang | 24 Mar 2023

  I also started from the same starting point but then discovered and started using VCR for creating http stubs - https://github.com/vcr/vcr. It allowed me to write against more realistic and complex test scenarios but didn't support databases.

• When to mock and what to mock in a Web API?
  3 projects | /r/golang | 23 Mar 2023

  If you had bit more complex workflows or less time - you could start using a VCR library to mock out API interactions and then continue with your dockerised DBs.
