Using `pytest-vcr` in integration tests has several benefits. Firstly,
it removes the need to mock external services, as VCR records and
replays HTTP interactions on the fly. Secondly, it simplifies the
integration test setup by eliminating the need to set up and tear down
external services in some cases. Finally, it allows for more reliable
and deterministic integration tests by ensuring that HTTP interactions
are always replayed with the same response.
Overall, `pytest-vcr` is a valuable tool for simplifying integration
test setup and improving their reliability
This commit adds the `pytest-vcr` package as a dependency for
integration tests in the `pyproject.toml` file. It also introduces two
new fixtures in `tests/integration_tests/conftest.py` files for managing
cassette directories and VCR configurations.
In addition, the
`tests/integration_tests/vectorstores/test_elasticsearch.py` file has
been updated to use the `@pytest.mark.vcr` decorator for recording and
replaying HTTP interactions.
Finally, this commit removes the `documents` fixture from the
`test_elasticsearch.py` file and replaces it with a new fixture defined
in `tests/integration_tests/vectorstores/conftest.py` that yields a list
of documents to use in any other tests.
This also includes my second attempt to fix issue :
