Using one cassete per test class
See original GitHub issueHiya,
Thanks for the plugin, I like it a lot. One thing that I’m wondering if it’s possible / worth doing is allowing marked classes to use one cassete, so:
@pytest.mark.vcr()
def test_foo():
pass
@pytest.mark.vcr()
def test_bar():
pass
would create test_foo.yaml
and test_bar.yaml
as you’d expect, but:
@pytest.mark.vcr()
class TestFoobar:
def test_foo(self):
pass
def test_bar(self):
pass
would only create one cassete TestFoobar.yaml
instead of TestFoobar.test_foo.yaml
and TestFoobar.test_bar.yaml
.
I don’t know if that’s even possible re py.test and vcr.py but wanted to ask, as it would make sense in my use case when I’m class is a group of tests of one function (which does one external request) but with different parameter.

I don’t see this being common, but I’ll leave the issue open for now, so if anyone else has a similar use-case they can leave a comment.
For integrating this in the plugin I’d also have to look at how VCR.py behaves when multiple tests are trying to create the same file (with xdist).
Yeah, you’re right, that’s basically what I did here with an additional config argument - thanks!
That’s my exact use case but I wonder how often that is and if that’s actually a good practice and worth implementing into the plugin - the answer very well could be no : -)
