Interceptor Testing

You can test interceptors directly with no need of doing integration testing via the BaseInterceptorTest
. This way you can unit test interceptors in isolation. All you need to do is the following:
This testing support class will create your interceptor, and decorate with mocking capabilities via MockBox and mock all the necessary companion objects around interceptors. The following are the objects that are placed in the variables scope for you to use:
interceptor : The target interceptor to test
mockController : A mock ColdBox controller in use by the target interceptor
mockRequestService : A mock request service object
mockLogger : A mock logger class in use by the target interceptor
mockLogBox : A mock LogBox class in use by the target interceptor
mockFlash : A mock flash scope in use by the target interceptor
All of the mock objects are essentially the dependencies of interceptor objects. You have complete control over them as they are already mocked for you.
