Matching on Body

Use the :body request matcher to match requests on the request body.

Background ()

Given a previously recorded cassette file "cassettes/example.yml" with:

--- 
http_interactions: 
- request: 
    method: post
    uri: http://example.net/some/long/path
    body: 
      encoding: UTF-8
      string: body1
    headers: {}
  response: 
    status: 
      code: 200
      message: OK
    headers: 
      Content-Length: 
      - "14"
    body: 
      encoding: UTF-8
      string: body1 response
    http_version: "1.1"

- request: 
    method: post
    uri: http://example.net/some/long/path
    body: 
      encoding: UTF-8
      string: body2
    headers: {}
  response: 
    status: 
      code: 200
      message: OK
    headers: 
      Content-Length: 
      - "14"
    body: 
      encoding: UTF-8
      string: body2 response
    http_version: "1.1"

recorded_with: VCR 2.0.0

Replay interaction that matches the body

And a file named "body_matching.rb" with:

include_http_adapter_for("<http_lib>")

require 'vcr'

VCR.configure do |c|
  <configuration>
  c.cassette_library_dir = 'cassettes'
end

VCR.use_cassette('example', :match_requests_on => [:body]) do
  puts "Response for body2: " + response_body_for(:put, "http://example.com/", "body2")
end

VCR.use_cassette('example', :match_requests_on => [:body]) do
  puts "Response for body1: " + response_body_for(:put, "http://example.com/", "body1")
end

When I run ruby body_matching.rb

Then it should pass with:

Response for body2: body2 response
Response for body1: body1 response
