Proposal: VCR-style request/response mocking middleware for testing #299

Open jbr opened 3 years ago

jbr commented 3 years ago

This would entail an external crate that provides a surf middleware with two modes (or potentially two different middlewares)

When it's in recording mode, it transparently writes all requests and responses to disk in a configurable well-known location in a human-readable and editable format of some sort. When it's in playback mode, instead of making requests against external servers, it responds with the data from disk

That would be amazing, and I think an excellent use of Surf middleware!

In case anyone sees this and is unclear what stage this proposal is at: I am not currently working on this, and will update this issue if I start. I encourage others to do likewise

I'm working on this; I have a basic middleware working at https://github.com/rjframe/surf-vcr. I've only done minimal testing thus far but will be doing more in the next week or two.
