LogBox and MockBox released!

I am proud to announce that both LogBox and MockBox are in public beta in their first ever release. Both of these frameworks are part of the ColdBox Platform 3.0.0 currently under development.

As a quick review:

LogBox is an enterprise coldfusion logging library inspired by log4j but taken to a more conventions arena in true ColdBox style.

MockBox is an object mocking and stubbing framework that will blow your mind! If you are not mocking or stubbing objects in your unit tests, then you are missing out. Mocking is truly essential and sometimes the only way to do unit testing.

So what are you waiting for, download them now!

ColdBox releases GroovyLaoder version 2.0

You can check out all the details about the new version of the GroovyLoader project. For those who don't know what ColdBox Projects are,well, they are a set of tools external to the core based on plugins, interceptors, modules, etc that can be downloaded and easily installed in any ColdBox application. If you haven't checked them out, I encourage you to do so by downloading them from the extras download section.

This version of the groovy loader helps you interact with the library more closely by having multiple locations for not only groovy scripts/classes, but also java libraries. You can also integrate the entire groovy runtime in your coldbox applications by using a single configuration interceptor called the GroovyStarter interceptor. 3 lines and you are swinging to the groove!!

Back From CF.Objective

Posted by Luis Majano

I got back from CF.Objective this Saturday night and what a great conference. I had the privilege to speak for my second year at CF.Objective and I really enjoy this conference. The high energy and advanced topics is definitely what I enjoyed the most. For this year the sessions that I really enjoyed where Marc Esher's Test Driven Development, Sean Corfield's CFSpec discussion, the Git BOF, the Railo BOF and the new ORM cf9 features.

I think the most enjoyable BOF I attended was git lead by Peter Bell and Simeon Bateman, those guys KNOW THEIR STUFF!! Peter even posted the git pressos that I will be studying for quite a while. I am really starting to consider more an more a move to GIT for the entire ColdBox suite. Simeon had some EXCELLENT day to day cases and great explanations of how GIT differs from SVN. Thanks Simeon and Peter!!

Another important part of CF.Objective where my mocking and testing discussions with Bill Shelton from the MXUnit Team. It was uncanny that we where both developing some kind of mocking frameworks and our ideas where eerily similar. We definitely got our Mock On and discussed so many improvements for the upcoming MXUnit MightyMock and the new ColdBox Addition: MockBox!! I really enjoyed our session Bill and hopefully we can join forces on this one!!
