This is a port of the [VCR](http://github.com/vcr/vcr) Ruby library to PHP.
Record your test suite's HTTP interactions and replay them during future test runs for fast, deterministic, accurate tests. A bit of documentation can be found on the [php-vcr website](http://php-vcr.github.io).
Disclaimer: Doing this in PHP is not as easy as in programming languages which support monkey patching (I'm looking at you, Ruby)
## Features
* Automatically records and replays your HTTP(s) interactions with minimal setup/configuration code.
* Supports common http functions and extensions
* everything using [streamWrapper](http://php.net/manual/en/class.streamwrapper.php): fopen(), fread(), file_get_contents(), ... without any modification (except `$http_response_header` see [#96](https://github.com/php-vcr/php-vcr/issues/96))
* [SoapClient](http://www.php.net/manual/en/soapclient.soapclient.php) by adding `\VCR\VCR::turnOn();` in your `tests/bootstrap.php`
* curl(), by adding `\VCR\VCR::turnOn();` in your `tests/bootstrap.php`
* The same request can receive different responses in different tests -- just use different cassettes.
* Disables all HTTP requests that you don't explicitly allow by [setting the record mode](http://php-vcr.github.io/documentation/configuration/)
* [Request matching](http://php-vcr.github.io/documentation/configuration/) is configurable based on HTTP method, URI, host, path, body and headers, or you can easily
implement a custom request matcher to handle any need.
* The recorded requests and responses are stored on disk in a serialization format of your choice
(currently YAML and JSON are built in, and you can easily implement your own custom serializer)
* Supports PHPUnit annotations.
## Usage example
Using static method calls:
``` php
class VCRTest extends TestCase
{
public function testShouldInterceptStreamWrapper()
{
// After turning on the VCR will intercept all requests
\VCR\VCR::turnOn();
// Record requests and responses in cassette file 'example'
\VCR\VCR::insertCassette('example');
// Following request will be recorded once and replayed in future test runs
$result = file_get_contents('http://example.com');
$this->assertNotEmpty($result);
// To stop recording requests, eject the cassette
\VCR\VCR::eject();
// Turn off VCR to stop intercepting requests
\VCR\VCR::turnOff();
}
public function testShouldThrowExceptionIfNoCasettePresent()
{
$this->setExpectedException(
'BadMethodCallException',
"Invalid http request. No cassette inserted. Please make sure to insert "
. "a cassette in your unit test using VCR::insertCassette('name');"
);
\VCR\VCR::turnOn();
// If there is no cassette inserted, a request throws an exception
file_get_contents('http://example.com');
}
}
```
You can use annotations in PHPUnit by using [phpunit-testlistener-vcr](https://github.com/php-vcr/phpunit-testlistener-vcr):
``` php
class VCRTest extends TestCase
{
/**
* @vcr unittest_annotation_test
*/
public function testInterceptsWithAnnotations()
{
// Requests are intercepted and stored into tests/fixtures/unittest_annotation_test.
$result = file_get_contents('http://google.com');
$this->assertEquals('This is a annotation test dummy.', $result, 'Call was not intercepted (using annotations).');
// VCR is automatically turned on and off.
}
}
```
## Installation
Simply run the following command:
``` bash
$ composer require --dev php-vcr/php-vcr
```
## Dependencies
PHP-VCR depends on:
* PHP 8
* Curl extension
* [symfony/event-dispatcher](https://github.com/symfony/event-dispatcher)
* [symfony/yaml](https://github.com/symfony/yaml)
* [beberlei/assert](https://github.com/beberlei/assert)
Composer installs all dependencies except extensions like curl.
## Run tests
In order to run all tests you need to get development dependencies using composer:
``` php
composer install
composer test
```
