defmodule Walkman do
@moduledoc """
Walkman helps you isolate your tests from the outside world.
## Getting started
```elixir
# test/test_helper.exs
Walkman.start_link()
```
```elixir
# config/config.exs
config :my_app, my_module: MyModule
```
Change references to `MyModule` in your application to `Application.get_env(:my_app, :my_module)`
```elixir
# config/test.exs
config :my_app, my_module: MyModuleWrapper
```
```elixir
# test/support/my_module_wrapper.ex
defmodule MyModuleWrapper do
use Walkman.Wrapper, MyModule
end
```
```elixir
# test/my_module_test.exs
test "MyModule" do
Walkman.use_tape "MyModule1" do
assert :ok = calls_my_module()
end
end
```
## Recording tapes
The first time you run the tests, Walkman will record test fixtures. You should commit these to your git repository. To re-record your fixtures, delete them and run the tests again (or put `Walkman.set_mode(:replay)` in `test/test_helper.ex`).

Load a tape for use in a test.

Walkman.use_tape "MyModule" do
assert {:ok, _} = MyModule.my_function

Set Walkman's mode. The default is `:normal`.
Walkman has three modes:
- `:normal` - if a tape is found, then the tape is replayed. If there is no tape, then a new one is made. This is the closest to how Ruby's VCR works.
- `:replay` - only replay, and raise an exception if no pre-recorded tape is found. This should be used when running the tests on the CI.
- `:record` - all calls are passed through to the implementation and record new tapes. This can be used to re-record tapes.
- `:integration` - calls are passed through to the implementation but no new tapes are made. Useful for running integration tests on the CI.
