Testing Flickraw with VCR gives erratic results

[maxcal]

In my app I am importing a list of photosets

# models/photoset
class Photoset  
  def self.import(opts = {})
    res = flickr.photosets.getList(opts)
    res.map do |item|
      set = find_or_initialize_by(uid: item["id"])
      set.assign_attributes(
          title: item["title"]
      )
      set
    end.keep_if { |s| s.new_record? }
  end
end  

I then record the response with VCR in my specs, however this gives me some strange results
as flickr.photosets.getList sometimes gives me a list of flickr.reflection.getMethods results instead.

describe Photoset do
   describe '.import' do
    let(:photosets) do
      VCR.use_cassette('photosets_getList') do
         @photosets = Photoset.import(user_id: ENV['FLICKR_TEST_USER'])
       end              
    end

    it "gets photosets" do
        expect(photosets.first).to be_a Photoset
    end
    it "sets uid" do
        expect(photosets.first.uid).to eq '72157647753138397'
    end
    it "sets title", focus: true do
      expect(hpotosets.first.title).to eq 'Showcase'
    end

    it "does not include sets that allready exist" do
      expect(photosets.select(&:persisted?).count).to eq 0
    end
  end
end

The recorded response contains a call to flickr.reflection.getMethods and a call to flickr.photosets.getList.

Is the call to flickr.reflection.getMethods used for some metaprogramming magic or why is it called at all?

[hanklords]

flickr.reflection.getMethods is called to build all the objects and methods. Flickraw does not know what methods are available when initiallzed. If you want a deterministic behavior, you can use flickraw-cached which embeds a list of all methods.

I have the opposite problem - in a place where getMethods is called I get a list of photos. The problem is ONLY if VCR is enabled so looks like they don't play well together and VCR can't distinguish these requests
UPDATE: the issue was solved but by adding :body to a matched things list for VCR - https://relishapp.com/vcr/vcr/docs/request-matching/matching-on-body
