$ ansible-playbook -i localhost, fastly.yml

Development

Running the tests

FASTLY_API_KEY=some_secret python -m unittest discover tests

Updating the VCR cassettes

VCR.py is used in the tests for mocking HTTP requests.

In order to update the cassettes just delete the tests/fixtures/cassettes directory and run the tests as usual. You have to use a valid Fastly API key for the recording to work.
