vcr v1.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2010-06-22 // almost 14 years ago

  • Full Changelog

    • New Features

      • Added support for HTTPClient, Patron and em-http-request when WebMock is used. Any future http libraries WebMock supports should (theoretically, at least) work without any VCR code changes. Thanks to Bartosz Blimke for adding the necessary code to WebMock to make this happen!
      • Added support for dynamic responses using ERB. A cassette will be evaluated as ERB before the YAML is deserialized if you pass it an :erb => true option. You can pass variables using :erb => { :var1 => 'some value', :var2 => 'another value' }.
      • Added ignore_localhost configuration setting, which defaults to false. Setting it true does the following:
        • Localhost requests will proceed as normal. The "Real HTTP connections are disabled" error will not occur.
        • Localhost requests will not be recorded.
        • Previously recorded localhost requests will not be replayed.
      • Exposed the version number:
        • VCR.version => string (in the format "major.minor.patch")
        • VCR.version.parts => array of integers
        • VCR.version.major => integer
        • VCR.version.minor => integer
        • VCR.version.patch => integer
      • Added test coverage and documentation of using a regex for non-deterministic URLs (i.e. URLs that include a timestamp as a query parameter). It turns out this feature worked before, and I just didn't realize it :).

    • Breaking Changes

      • The :allow_real_http => lambda { |uri| ... } cassette option has been removed. There was no way to get this to work with the newly supported http libraries without extensive monkeypatching, and it was mostly useful for localhost requests, which is more easily handled by the new ignore_localhost config setting.
      • Removed methods and options that had been previously deprecated. If you're upgrading from an old version, I recommend upgrading to 0.4.1 first, deal with all the deprecation warnings, then upgrade to 1.0.0.

    • Misc Changes:

      • Removed dependency on jeweler. Manage the gemspec by hand instead.
      • Removed some extensions that are no longer necessary.
