Web Runner

Every test harness comes with a runner.bx or runner.cfm in the root of the tests folder. This is called the web runner and is executable via the web server you are running your application on. This will execute all the tests by convention found in the tests/specs folder.

http://localhost/tests/runner.cfm

You can open that file and customize it as you see fit. Here is an example of such a file:

<!--- Executes all tests in the 'specs' folder with simple reporter by default --->
<bx:param name="url.reporter" 			default="simple">
<bx:param name="url.directory" 			default="tests.specs">
<bx:param name="url.recurse" 			default="true" type="boolean">
<bx:param name="url.bundles" 			default="">
<bx:param name="url.labels" 			 default="">
<bx:param name="url.excludes" 			 default="">
<bx:param name="url.reportpath" 		 default="#expandPath( "/tests/results" )#">
<bx:param name="url.propertiesFilename"  default="TEST.properties">
<bx:param name="url.propertiesSummary"	default="false" type="boolean">
<bx:param name="url.editor" 			  default="vscode">
<bx:param name="url.bundlesPattern" 	 default="*Spec*.cfc|*Test*.cfc|*Spec*.bx|*Test*.bx">

<!--- Code Coverage requires FusionReactor --->
<bx:param name="url.coverageEnabled"			default="false">
<bx:param name="url.coveragePathToCapture"		default="#expandPath( '/root' )#">
<bx:param name="url.coverageWhitelist"			  default="">
<bx:param name="url.coverageBlacklist"			  default="/testbox,/coldbox,/tests,/modules,Application.cfc,/index.cfm,Application.bx,/index.bxm">
<!---<bx:param name="url.coverageBrowserOutputDir"		default="#expandPath( '/tests/results/coverageReport' )#">--->
<!---<bx:param name="url.coverageSonarQubeXMLOutputPath"	default="#expandPath( '/tests/results/SonarQubeCoverage.xml' )#">--->
<!--- Enable batched code coverage reporter, useful for large test bundles which require spreading over multiple testbox run commands. --->
<!--- <bx:param name="url.isBatched"						default="false"> --->

<!--- Include the TestBox HTML Runner --->
<bx:include template="/testbox/system/runners/HTMLRunner.cfm" >

Test Bundle Execution

If you make your test bundle class inherit from our testbox.system.BaseSpec class, you will be able to execute the class directly via the URL:

// BoxLang
http://localhost/tests/specs/MyFirstTest.bx?method=runRemote

// CFML
http://localhost/tests/specs/MyFirstTest.cfc?method=runRemote

Arguments

All the arguments found in the runner are available as well in a direct bundle execution:

• labels: The labels to apply to the execution

• testMethod : A list or array of xunit test names that will be executed ONLY!

• testSuites : A list or array of suite names that are the ones that will be executed ONLY!

• testSpecs : A list or array of test names that are the ones that will be executed ONLY!

• reporter : The type of reporter to run the test with

// BoxLang
http://localhost/tests/specs/MyFirstTest.bx?method=runRemote&reporter=text

// CFML
http://localhost/tests/specs/MyFirstTest.cfc?method=runRemote&reporter=text
