vcr v2.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2012-03-02 // about 12 years ago

  • Full Changelog

    🔄 Changed

    • Previously, the last matching response in a cassette would repeatedly playback if the same request kept being made. This is no longer the case.
    • The Faraday middleware has been rewritten.
      • You no longer need to configure stub_with :faraday to use it.
      • It has been updated to work in parallel mode.
      • It no longer accepts a block and uses that to determine the cassette. Instead, use VCR.use_cassette just like you would with FakeWeb or WebMock.

    ➕ Added

    • Allow any callable (an object that responds to #call, such as a lambda) to be used as a request matcher. Thanks to Avdi Grimm for the idea.
    • Add ability to register custom request matchers.
    • Add VCR.request_matchers.uri_without_param(:some_param) to generate a request matcher that matches on URI but ignores the named parameter.
    • New :allow_playback_repeats cassette option preserves the old playback repeat behavior. Thanks to Avdi Grimm for the idea.
    • New :exclusive cassette option allows a cassette to be exclusively used rather than keeping the existing one active as a fallback. Thanks to Avdi Grimm for the idea.

    ✂ Removed

    • Removed support for Ruby 1.8.6 and 1.9.1.
    • Removed lots of old deprecated APIs.
    • Removed support for manually changing the URI in a cassette to a regex.

    🗄 Deprecated

    • Deprecated VCR.config in favor of VCR.configure.
    • Deprecated VCR::Config singleton module in favor of VCR::Configuration class. The current configuration instance can be accessed via VCR.configuration.
    • Deprecated stub_with in favor of hook_into. The stubbing adapters have been completely rewritten and are no longer an implementation of the adapter design pattern. Instead they simply use the named library to globally hook into every HTTP request.
