Scenario tagged @har:products runs green but har/staging is still empty

@ui @smoke @har:products
Scenario: Products render from recorded traffic
  Given I am on the inventory page
  Then I should see the text "Sauce Labs Backpack"

bun run sdods run -p demo-shop -e staging -l ui -b chromium -t @smoke

2021-10-21 09:12:44 [WARN] [har] @har:products has no recording at /work/projects/demo-shop/har/staging/products.har. Run: sdods har record -p demo-shop -e staging -t @har:products

  Accepted answer

  The warning is the whole answer, and it even prints the command. A plain sdods run never records. The mode resolves like this: an explicit mode wins; otherwise it is replay when the file already exists, and off when it does not. Your file did not exist, so the hook fell to off and skipped routing entirely.

  Record it once:

  bashCopy

  bun run sdods har record -p demo-shop -e staging -t @har:products

  That is the same thing as sdods run ... --har-update: requests go to the real network and the file is written on the way through. From then on every ordinary run of that scenario replays from har/staging/products.har, no flag needed.

  You also get a sidecar next to it, products.har.json, holding the project, the env, the URL glob, the timestamp and the scenario titles that contributed.

  Adding one detail: if you leave -t off, har record runs the whole project in update mode and says so:

  textCopy

  no --tags given: running the project in HAR update mode (only @har-tagged scenarios record)

  Untagged scenarios just run normally, so it is safe, only slower. Prefer the tag expression when you know which recording you are refreshing.

  Recording is authoring, not testing. Do it deliberately, look at the diff, commit it.
