Record 'HTTP' Calls to Disk

Record test suite 'HTTP' requests and replays them during future runs. A port of the Ruby gem of the same name (< https://github.com/vcr/vcr/>). Works by hooking into the 'webmockr' R package for matching 'HTTP' requests by various rules ('HTTP' method, 'URL', query parameters, headers, body, etc.), and then caching real 'HTTP' responses on disk in 'cassettes'. Subsequent 'HTTP' requests matching any previous requests in the same 'cassette' use a cached 'HTTP' response.

R Bindings for 'Selenium WebDriver'

Provides a set of R bindings for the 'Selenium 2.0 WebDriver' (see < https://selenium.dev/documentation/en/> for more information) using the 'JsonWireProtocol' (see < https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/JsonWireProtocol> for more information). 'Selenium 2.0 WebDriver' allows driving a web browser natively as a user would either locally or on a remote machine using the Selenium server it marks a leap forward in terms of web browser automation. Selenium automates web browsers (commonly referred to as browsers). Using RSelenium you can automate browsers locally or remotely.
