Instead of manually wrapping test methods with VCR context managers, you inherit from VCRTestCase and write normal unittest code; the class intercepts HTTP calls, records them to YAML files on first run, and replays them on subsequent runs. It also exposes the cassette object as self.cassette so you can make assertions about recorded interactions.\n\nThe package is lightweight\u2014it depends only on vcrpy\u2014and offers customization hooks (_get_vcr_kwargs, _get_cassette_library_dir, _get_cassette_name, _get_vcr) to control cassette location, naming, and VCR configuration. A VCRMixin variant is available for cases where inheriting from VCRTestCase conflicts with existing class hierarchies.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2018-09-25, repository archived) with no activity for over 2880 days. Compatibility with modern Python versions and current vcrpy releases is unverified. While the concept is sound and the MIT license is permissive, the lack of maintenance creates risk for new projects. Consider using vcrpy directly with unittest, or evaluate actively maintained alternatives."},"id":"vcrpy-unittest","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vcrpy-unittest","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vcrpy-unittest.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/vcrpy-unittest/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2018-09-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"vcrpy-unittest","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python unittest integration for vcr.py"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":87842,"position":13765,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.7"}
