Error for HTTP request made when no cassette is in use

VCR is designed to help you remove all HTTP dependencies from your
test suite. To assist with this, VCR will cause an exception to be
raised when an HTTP request is made while there is no cassette in
use. The error is helpful to pinpoint where HTTP requests are
made so you can use a VCR cassette at that point in your code.

If you want to allow an HTTP request to proceed as normal, you can
set the allow_http_connections_when_no_cassette configuration option
(see configuration/allow_http_connections_when_no_cassette.feature) or
you can temporarily turn VCR off:

VCR.turn_off! => turn VCR off so HTTP requests are allowed
VCR.turn_on! => turn VCR back on
VCR.turned_off { ... } => turn VCR off for the duration of the provided block.

Scenarios

Error for request when no cassette is in use

Given

a file named "no_cassette_error.rb" with:

require 'vcr_cucumber_helpers'
include_http_adapter_for("http_lib")

require 'vcr'

VCR.config do |c|
  c.stub_with stub_with
  c.cassette_library_dir = 'cassettes'
end

response_body_for(:get, 'http://example.com/')

When

I run "ruby no_cassette_error.rb"

Then

it should fail with "error"

And

the output should contain each of the following:

You can use VCR to automatically record this request and replay it later.

no_cassette_error.rb:11

Examples:
stub_with	http_lib	error
:fakeweb	net/http	Real HTTP connections are disabled
:webmock	net/http	Real HTTP connections are disabled
:webmock	httpclient	Real HTTP connections are disabled
:webmock	curb	Real HTTP connections are disabled
:webmock	patron	Real HTTP connections are disabled
:webmock	em-http-request	Real HTTP connections are disabled
:typhoeus	typhoeus	Real HTTP requests are not allowed

Temporarily turn VCR off to allow HTTP requests to procede as normal

Given

a file named "turn_off_vcr.rb" with:

require 'vcr_cucumber_helpers'

start_sinatra_app(:port => 7777) do
  get('/') { 'Hello' }
end

require 'vcr'

VCR.config do |c|
  c.stub_with :fakeweb
end

def make_request(context)
  puts context
  puts Net::HTTP.get_response('localhost', '/', 7777).body
rescue => e
  puts "Error: #{e.message}"
end

VCR.turned_off do
  make_request "In VCR.turned_off block"
end

make_request "Outside of VCR.turned_off block"

VCR.turn_off!
make_request "After calling VCR.turn_off!"

VCR.turn_on!
make_request "After calling VCR.turn_on!"

When

I run "ruby turn_off_vcr.rb"

Then

the output should contain:

In VCR.turned_off block
Hello

And

the output should contain:

Outside of VCR.turned_off block
Error: Real HTTP connections are disabled.

And

the output should contain:

After calling VCR.turn_off!
Hello

And

the output should contain:

After calling VCR.turn_on!
Error: Real HTTP connections are disabled.
