Asynchronous Testing

As you can see from our arguments for a test suite, you can pass an asyncAll argument to the describe() blocks that will allow TestBox to execute all specs in separate threads for you concurrently.

Caution Once you delve into the asynchronous world you will have to make sure your tests are also thread safe (var-scoped) and provide any necessary locking.

describe(title="A spec (with setup and tear-down)", asyncAll=true, body=function() {

     beforeEach(function() {
          coldbox = 22;
          application.wirebox = new coldbox.system.ioc.Injector();
     });

     afterEach(function() {
          coldbox = 0;
          structDelete( application, "wirebox" );
     });

     it("is just a function, so it can contain any code", function() {
          expect( coldbox ).toBe( 22 );
     });

     it("can have more than one expectation and talk to scopes", function() {
          expect( coldbox ).toBe( 22 );
          expect( application.wirebox.getInstance( 'MyService' ) ).toBeComponent();
     });
});
