Using VCR 3 with Rails 4

All the guides on using VCR with Rails that I found in my googling was from 2012 or older. This ended up being super easy but I still ended up wasting time trying to find a newer reference.

Put this in your Gemfile

group :test do
  gem 'vcr'
  gem 'webmock'
end

Put the following in your spec/spec_helper.rb require ‘vcr’

VCR.configure do |c|
  c.cassette_library_dir = 'spec/cassettes'
  c.hook_into :webmock
  c.configure_rspec_metadata!
end

RSpec.configure do |config|

And then finally. In the specs that make the web requests you want to record, put , :vcr do right after the description
