Files and secrets

Files

A recording writes a mock file named after its request, such as GET-items-page-2-<hash>.mock.json, or .yaml or .yml with RecordFormat, into its directory: {workdir}/_mocks_recorded by default, testdata/vlatte/_mocks_recorded. A mock file appears whole, or not at all.

Secrets

Mock files are plain text, and often committed: review them first. They hold the request bodies recordings match, such as a password or a client_secret, the values of the headers RecordRequestHeaders names, the response headers and bodies, such as tokens, and the query, in the URL and in the file name. Set-Cookie is left out by default. The headers Setup().RedactHeader(...) names keep their values out too: a response header is written <redacted>, and a request header matches by its presence. RecordTransform hides the rest.
