VCR fails if the same request is triggered multiple times

Same requests are recorded only once in vcr Show archive.org snapshot . Replaying a test fails, if you trigger the same request multiple times. The error message is somehow confusing, as your cassette contains the request:

An HTTP request has been made that VCR does not know how to handle

If you want to allow to match a request multiple times, you need to configure this explicit with allow_playback_repeats: true Show archive.org snapshot . Some example configurations:

# specific cassette only
VCR.use_cassette('example', :allow_playback_repeats => true) do
  puts response_body_for(:get, 'http://example.com/foo')
  puts response_body_for(:get, 'http://example.com/foo')
  puts response_body_for(:get, 'http://example.com/foo')
end

# cucumber only
VCR.cucumber_tags do |t|
  t.tag '@vcr',
    use_scenario_name: true,
    allow_playback_repeats: true
end

# globally
VCR.configure do |config|
  config.default_casette_options = { allow_playback_repeats: true } 
end

Use this option with caution, as there are many scenarios where the response changes for the same request!

LoDash: isBlank and isPresent mixins

When you need to check a value for presence, don't rely on JavaScript since it considers 0 or "0" false. Also don't rely on LoDash's _.isEmpty:

if ('0') { ... } // false
if (0) { ... } // false

^
if (!_.isEmpty('0')) { ... }...
