There is exvcr and there are doctests. Can they be married somehow?
I’ve never gotten into VCR testing, but it looks like exvcr has a start_cassette/1
and stop_cassette/0
. Doctests use setup blocks same as regular tests. So you could probably do something like
setup do
start_cassette("my_cassette")
# will run in a separate process--will that be an issue?
on_exit(&stop_cassette/0)
end
If you need different cassettes for different doctests, you can wrap doctests for each function in a describe block with its own setup and passing the :only
(or :except
) option into doctest/2.
