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 newline character
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.
