Sometimes you will need to produce output from your tests and you can do so elegantly via some functions we have provided that are available in your test bundles:

• console(var, top=[9999]) - Send data to the console via writeDump( output="console" )

• debug(var, label="", deepCopy=[false], top=999) - Send data to the TestBox debug stream, will be saved in the test results and outputted in reports

• print( message ) - Write some output to the ColdFusion output buffer

• println( message ) - Write some output to the ColdFusion output buffer and appends a

These are great little utilities that are needed to send output to several locations.

Hint Please note that the debug() method does NOT do deep copies by default.

console( myResults );
​
debug( myData );
debug( myData, true );
​
debug( var=myData, top=5 );
​
print( "Running This Test with #params.toString()#" );
println( "Running This Test with #params.toString()#" );
