Description
This issue tracks adding VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) infrastructure to DSL functional tests, enabling HTTP request recording/playback for testing workflows that make API calls without requiring real credentials or incurring costs.
Context
Currently, DSL functional tests only cover workflows that don't make HTTP requests (like loops, conditionals, file operations). We need VCR support to test chat and agent workflows that interact with external APIs.
Implementation Tasks
✅ Core VCR Infrastructure
- Implement VCR for the DSL functional tests (refer to how @dersam set it up for the legacy functional tests in
test/support/functional_test.rb, but leave that setup as-is)
🔄 Basic Chat Workflow Tests
- Add the
dsl/simple_chat.rbexample DSL workflow to the functional test suite - Write some additional example workflows that use chat in more interesting, complex, real-world ways, with VCR to run them in tests
🔄 Agent Workflow Support
- Figure out a good way to mock agent calls in functional tests
- Add a functional test case for
dsl/simple_agent.rbusing that mocking setup - Write some additional example workflows that use agent (perhaps in combination with chat) and hook them up as functional tests
Success Criteria
- DSL functional tests can record/playback HTTP requests for chat workflows
- Agent workflows can be tested with appropriate mocking
- New example workflows demonstrate real-world usage patterns
- All tests run reliably in CI without external dependencies

Research direction
Start with test/dsl/support/functional_test.rb and test/dsl/functional/roast_dsl_examples_test.rb to understand the existing DSL VCR infrastructure and test cases. Then inspect dsl/simple_chat.rb and dsl/simple_agent.rb. Done means chat and agent examples have functional coverage, HTTP interactions are recorded or played back, and the tests run reliably in CI without external dependencies.
