Common Testing Methods
BaseSpec
It is important to get familiar with TestBox before adventuring into ColdBox testing. Therefore, we suggest you reference the TestBox Docs (https://testbox.ortusbooks.com/primers/testbox-bdd-primer) or the TestBox API Docs (http://apidocs.ortussolutions.com/testbox/current). Below you can see a few of the common methods available to you.
// quick assertion methods
assert( expression, [message] )
fail(message)
// Life Cycle Methods
beforeEach( body )
afterEach( body )
aroundEach( body, spec )
// Spec Methods
describe( title, body, labels, asyncAll, skip )
xdescribe( title, body, labels, asyncAll )
fdescribe( title, body, labels, asyncAll )
feature( title, body, labels, asyncAll, skip )
xfeature( title, body, labels, asyncAll )
ffeature( title, body, labels, asyncAll )
it( title, body, labels, skip )
xit( title, body, labels )
fit( title, body, labels, skip )
// Expectations
expect( actual )
// extensions
addMatchers( matchers )
addAssertions( assertions )
// runners
runRemote( testSpecs, testSuites, deubg, reporter );
// utility methods
console( var, top )
debug( var, deepCopy, label, top )
clearDebugBuffer()
getDebugBuffer()
print( message )
printLn( message )
// mocking methods
makePublic( target, method, newName )
querySim( queryData )
getmockBox( generationPath )
createEmptyMock( className, object, callLogging )
createMock( className, object, clearMethods, callLogging )
prepareMock( object, callLogging )
createStub( callLogging, extends, implements )
getProperty( target, name, scope, defaultValue )BaseTestCase
As we have seen that our BaseTestCase inherits from the BaseSpec you get all the goodness of TestBox. However, the BaseTestCase also has a wealth of methods to assist in your testing adventures: https://apidocs.ortussolutions.com/coldbox/6.0.0/coldbox/system/testing/BaseTestCase.html
