Allow HTTP connections when no cassette

Usually, HTTP requests made when no cassette is inserted will result
in an error (see cassettes/no_cassette.feature). You can set the
allow_http_connections_when_no_cassette configuration option to
true to allow requests, if you do not want to use VCR for everything.

Background

Given

a file named "vcr_setup.rb" with:

require 'vcr_cucumber_helpers'

if ARGV.include?('--with-server')
  start_sinatra_app(:port => 7777) do
    get('/') { "Hello" }
  end
end

require 'vcr'

VCR.config do |c|
  c.allow_http_connections_when_no_cassette = true
  c.stub_with :fakeweb
  c.cassette_library_dir = 'cassettes'
end

And

the directory "vcr/cassettes" does not exist

Scenarios

Allow HTTP connections when no cassette

Given

a file named "no_cassette.rb" with:

require 'vcr_setup.rb'

puts "Response: " + Net::HTTP.get_response('localhost', '/', 7777).body

When

I run "ruby no_cassette.rb --with-server"

Then

the output should contain "Response: Hello"

Cassettes record and replay as normal

Given

a file named "record_replay_cassette.rb" with:

require 'vcr_setup.rb'

VCR.use_cassette('localhost', :record => :new_episodes) do
  puts "Response: " + Net::HTTP.get_response('localhost', '/', 7777).body
end

When

I run "ruby record_replay_cassette.rb --with-server"

Then

the output should contain "Response: Hello"

And

the file "cassettes/localhost.yml" should contain "body: Hello"

When

I run "ruby record_replay_cassette.rb"

Then

the output should contain "Response: Hello"
