Running VCR's test suite
------------------------

The tests are all run automatically on `Travis
CI <https://travis-ci.org/kevin1024/vcrpy>`__, but you can also run them
yourself using `py.test <http://pytest.org/>`__ and
`Tox <http://tox.testrun.org/>`__. Tox will automatically run them in
all environments VCR.py supports. The test suite is pretty big and slow,
but you can tell tox to only run specific tests like this::

    tox -e py27requests -- -v -k "'test_status_code or test_gzip'"

This will run only tests that look like ``test_status_code`` or
``test_gzip`` in the test suite, and only in the python 2.7 environment
that has ``requests`` installed.

Also, in order for the boto tests to run, you will need an AWS key.
Refer to the `boto
documentation <http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getting_started.html>`__
for how to set this up. I have marked the boto tests as optional in
Travis so you don't have to worry about them failing if you submit a
pull request.
