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.
