:record_on_error

The :record_on_error flag mode will prevent a cassette from being recorded when the code
that uses the cassette (a test) raises an error (test failure).

Background

Given

a file named "setup.rb" with:

$server = start_sinatra_app do
  get('/') { 'Hello' }
end

require 'vcr'

VCR.configure do |c|
  c.hook_into                :webmock
  c.cassette_library_dir     = 'cassettes'
end

Scenarios

Requests are recorded when no error is raised
Requests are not recorded when an error is raised and :record_on_error is set to false
Requests are recorded when an error is raised and :record_on_error is set to true

Requests are recorded when no error is raised

Given

a file named "record_when_no_error.rb" with:

require 'setup'

VCR.use_cassette('example', :record_on_error => false) do
  response = Net::HTTP.get_response('localhost', '/', $server.port)
  puts "Response: #{response.body}"
end

When

I run ruby record_when_no_error.rb

Then

it should pass with "Response: Hello"

And

the file "cassettes/example.yml" should contain "Hello"

Requests are not recorded when an error is raised and :record_on_error is set to false

Given

a file named "do_not_record_on_error.rb" with:

require 'setup'

VCR.use_cassette('example', :record => :once, :record_on_error => false) do
  Net::HTTP.get_response('localhost', '/', $server.port)
  raise StandardError, 'The example failed'
end

When

I run ruby do_not_record_on_error.rb

Then

it should fail with "The example failed"

And

the file "cassettes/example.yml" should not exist

Requests are recorded when an error is raised and :record_on_error is set to true

Given

a file named "record_on_error.rb" with:

require 'setup'

VCR.use_cassette('example', :record => :once, :record_on_error => true) do
  Net::HTTP.get_response('localhost', '/', $server.port)
  raise StandardError, 'The example failed'
end

When

I run ruby record_on_error.rb

Then

it should fail with "The example failed"

But

the file "cassettes/example.yml" should contain "Hello"
