Test Harness

Every ColdBox application template comes with a nice test harness inside of a tests folder.
Here is a breakdown of what it contains:
  • Application.cfc - A unique application file for your test harness. It should mimic exactly the one in your root application folder
  • resources - Some basic testing resources or any of your own testing resources
  • results - Where automated results are archived
  • runner.cfm - The HTML runner for your test bundles
  • specs - Where you will be writing your testing bundle specs for integration testing, unit testing and module testing.
  • test.xml - Your ANT runner

Application.cfc

The Application.cfc for your tests is extremly important as it should mimic your applications real Application.cfc.

structDelete( application, "wirebox" );
}
}
Please note that we provide already a mapping to your root application via /root and a mapping to the tests themselves via /tests . We would recommend you add any ORM specs here or any other mappings here as well.
Tip: Make sure all the same settings and configs from your root Application.cfc are replicated in your tests Application.cfc
