Record HTTP interactions in your tests ...and replay them during
future test runs for fast, deterministic and accurate tests. Port of the VCR library for ruby

Why? Much faster tests Independent of API Inspect HTTP requests
Deterministic tests (no rate limits, external errors) See if external APIs change (version control of recordings) See when unexpected HTTP requests happen No manual mocking

Usage ! // start interception VCR::turnOn(); ! // start recording
VCR::insertCassette('unittest_example.yml'); ! // do a request file_get_contents('http://example.com'); ! // stop recording VCR::eject(); ! // stop interception VCR::turnOff(); Example usage with plain PHP:

PHPUnit ! /** * @vcr unittest_example.yml */ public function testShouldCrawlWebsite()
{ // do a request $crawler = new Crawler(); $crawler->crawl('http://example.com'); } Example PHPUnit integration

Record request: method: GET url: 'http://example.com' headers: Host: example.com User-Agent:
'Guzzle/3.8.1 curl/7.30.0 PHP/5.4.16' response: status: 302 headers: Accept-Ranges: bytes Cache-Control: max-age=604800 Content-Type: text/html Date: 'Wed, 26 Feb 2014 21:50:54 GMT' Etag: '"359670651"' Expires: 'Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:50:54 GMT' Last-Modified: 'Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:54:35 GMT' Server: 'EOS (lax004/45BF)' Content-Length: '1270' body: "<!doctype html><html><head>…" Example recording in YAML format:

Disclaimer Not so easy in PHP (no monkey patching) How
it works: Replacing function calls on the fly using a stream wrapper filter when including PHP files.
