coldbox-testing-handler

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables developers to validate ColdBox event handlers and controllers by executing events, asserting outcomes, and verifying rendering behavior without requiring a full application load.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Isolated handler unit tests using BaseHandlerTest to test handlers without a running ColdBox app
• Integration-style tests using BaseTestCase to exercise handlers with a virtual ColdBox app
• Assertions for rc/prc values, currentView, renderData, and relocation behavior after actions
• Mocking and injection workflows to verify dependencies are wired correctly in handlers

Quick Start

Create a spec that executes a ColdBox event with execute(), set up mocks, and assert the handler's output, view, and relocation results.
