Great Snippet Adam!!
Again, this is a great way for you to learn the framework and have all the common methods handy. When I get more DONATIONS, I'll create a big old POSTER like the FLEX ones.
So click on the link above to start unit testing your handlers.
The application template included in the download for the dashboard became corrupt. I replaced them in the distribution files and I am attaching the zip file to this post. You can download it and place it under the following directory:
{DashboardInstall}/model/templates/apptemplate.zip
Just replace the old zip file and you should be ok. If not, just download the bundle again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
If you would like to add anything to this guide, please let me know and it will be added. Also, if you have other alternatives to refactoring, then please let me know.
More coming soon.
As you can see from the screenshot, the debugger has a RC Snapshot column that you can expand and collapse. Once expanded on a specific event, you can see the content of the request collection as the event got executed. You can see the xeh variables, the dbService object and its type, the event variable and more. As your application executes events, the snapshots are taken and will be ready for visualization in the debugger.
This is a great tool and a great way to debug your applications. No more cfdump and aborts to see where variables get set. Just look at the snapshot.
They are now two separate products with separate licenses and development timelines. So enjoy these new versions!!
Before the news and release notes I want to thank God for his wisdom in yet another action packed release and for giving me the projects to help the ColdFusion community. And now the news:
I met Brian last year in Florida and met him again at CF Objective this year. We went over the entire roadmap of ColdBox and he decided to dedicate development time to the framework and has already come up with some exciting new features for the framework. He has over 7 years experience with ColdFusion and assorted web-based technologies,
employed by Central Florida Investments as a Technical Lead for the Web Development Team and has a degree from the University of Central Florida, BS in Computer Science. His Java and OO experience will bring new methodologies and technology to this framework. So please welcome Brian to this community effort.
