Cassette Persistence

By default, cassettes will be persisted to the file system. However, you
can easily configure VCR to persist the cassettes to a database, a key-value
store, or anywhere you like.

To use something besides the file system, you must provide an object
that provides a hash-like interface:

persister[name] should return the content previously persisted for the given cassette name.
persister[name] = content should persist the content for the given cassette name.

Register this object with VCR, and then you can configure all cassettes
to use it (using the default_cassette_options) or just some cassettes
to use it (by passing it as an option to individual cassettes).

Scenarios

Persist cassettes in Redis

Given

the redis DB has no data

And

a file named "use_redis.rb" with:

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

require 'redis'

class RedisCassettePersister
  def initialize(redis)
    @redis = redis
  end

  def [](name)
    @redis.get(name)
  end

  def []=(name, content)
    @redis.set(name, content)
  end
end

require 'vcr'

VCR.configure do |c|
  c.hook_into :fakeweb
  c.cassette_persisters[:redis] = RedisCassettePersister.new(Redis.connect)
  c.default_cassette_options = { :persist_with => :redis }
end

VCR.use_cassette("redis_example") do
  response = Net::HTTP.get_response('localhost', '/', 7777)
  puts "Response: #{response.body}"
end

When

I run ruby use_redis.rb --with-server

Then

it should pass with "Hello"

And

the value stored at the redis key "redis_example.yml" should include "Hello"

When

I run ruby use_redis.rb

Then

it should pass with "Hello"
