We had been (since the beginning) disabling webmock in this
test (which means vcr was _not_ intercepting requests and we were
making them live). This appears to have been a work-around for an
issue where the captured URL in the cassette pointed to cloudinary,
while the code was fetching from the source directly, and an unhandled
request error was raised when running the spec.
However, the upstream source (https://via.placeholder.com/350x150)
activated cloudflare bot detection, and rather than a png image
response, we were getting an unprocessable html gateway page "Checking
your browser..." from cloudflare, and the test was failing.
Point the vcr cassette at the same url the test checks, and remove the
local webmock disable.
