VCR Manager

VS Code extension to manage VCR cassettes for Python tests using decorators like @vcr.use_cassette, @vhs.use_cassette, or @pytest.mark.vcr.

Features

• Detects all common ways to define a cassette in Python tests.
• Shows "Show cassette" and "Delete cassette" buttons above each test.
• Supports explicit cassette paths and automatic path generation.
• Configurable root path for cassettes.
• Command palette integration to set the cassette root path.

Example Project Structure

my-django-project/
├── manage.py
├── api/
│   └── tests/
│       ├── test_product.py
│       └── cassettes/
│           └── test_product_controller/
│               └── test_get_product.yaml

Example Test Code

@vhs.use_cassette("/test_product/test_product_controller/test_get_product.yaml")
def test_get_product(self):
	# Test code here

@pytest.mark.vcr()
def test_get_product(self):
	# Test code here

Automatic Cassette Path Generation

If no path is provided in the decorator, the cassette path is automatically generated as:

cassettes/<test_file_name>/<test_function_name>.yaml

For example, for test_create_product in test_product.py, the cassette will be:

cassettes/test_product/test_create_product.yaml

Configuration

You can set the root path for cassettes in the extension settings or via the command palette (vcr.root).

Usage

1. Open a Python test file in VS Code.
2. The extension will show buttons above each test using a VCR decorator.
3. Use the buttons to show or delete the associated cassette file.
