The use_cassette function is really nice for use with ExUnit, but having an official start_cassette and stop_cassette would make it possible to use in other usecases.
In particular, we want to use ExVcr in end-to-end tests using Cypress, so we'd like to tell our Phoenix server to start using a cassette, then send a bunch of requests / liveview events, then finally stop using the cassette.
It is currently possible to look at the source and write these, but that could break in the future. A sure fire way is to write a process that can call use_cassette and block until desired.
Would start_cassette and stop_cassette be acceptable new functions?
