Ember-cli-betamax
Installation
- npm install simplereach/ember-cli-betamax --save-dev
- ember generate ember-cli-betamax
- this should add the following to your tests/test-helper file:
import cassette from './helpers/cassette';
import insertCassette from './helpers/insert-cassette';
insertCassette(cassette);
Creating a recording
- in a QUnit test click on the "Record API Queries" checkbox (typically you should do it on the global test route)
- when the tests are finished a file will automatically be downloaded
- replace the current cassette.js in tests/helpers with the new cassette.js
How it works
- When record is set to true, every ajax response is monitored and saved to an array.
- Within one recording session responses are cached, so you will only hit the same endpoint once.
- At the end of the session a "cassette" is saved in the format that Sinon Fake server expects.
- If record is not true, Sinon Fake server is pre-loaded with your already recorded cassette.
- If something has not been recorded, it will be downloaded at the end of a test run. The new cassette can be manually merged.
