Switching from RestClient to Faraday

[hungryzi]

My main motivation is to add support to NTLM for my personal use and #12.
The secondary motivation is that Faraday looks better maintained than RestClient.

Faraday supports multiple adapters:

• Net::HTTP
• Excon
• Typhoeus
• Patron
• EventMachine
• HTTPClient

I plan to use Typhoeus(https://github.com/typhoeus/typhoeus).

I am trying to regenerate the VCR cassettes with the Faraday version (necessary because Faraday uses headers for BasicAuth, not url). However, I'm having a hard time trying to set up the SampleService on my Window Server 8 virtual box.

If anyone has that SampleService running and could record the cassettes with code in 4ba5d7b, I'd be very much appreciative.

I recorded new tapes, they are in https://github.com/visoft/ruby_odata/tree/new_vcr_tapes

There are 6 errors with the features, but I didn't fix them because I wasn't sure if you were working on the same code.

Any progress on this with the new tapes?

@hungryzi Any progress on this using the new tapes?

This needs to be removed!

@visoft could you point me how to set up sample service with let's say virtualbox?

[visoft]

Well first you need to install Windows. I have a Window 7 machine running under Parallels. From there, just get .NET installed. Once you have that, clone ruby_odata and run the appropriate batch file for IIS Express. It should fire right up. You'll need to note the endpoint IP and such and make the changes to your configuration as appropriate so you can communicate with the virtual machine. I hope this helps!

@zzk, @hungryzi - I wrote up a detailed blog post on setting up VirtualBox for the SampleService.

Awesome!
I figure out that I need iis and ruby install on my win host.

On the other hand - did you ever think about moving from vcr? It's not very ruby way to install win7 with iis to re-record test if there's a need for that. I would advice to switch to fake service made with sinatra - take a look here

@zzk, all the RSpec tests use that approach, using snapshots of the EDMX metadata and the result. They are completely isolated. The Cucumber features are more integration tests to ensure it works correctly with a live service. Of course these don't work using a CLI like Travis, hence the need for vcr.
