Testing Without Virtual Application

Testing Without Virtual Application

The BaseTestCase leverages an internal virtual ColdBox application so you can do integration testing. Meaning that whenever you extend from the BaseTestCase the virtual ColdBox will be loaded. You can tell the testing framework to NOT load it by using the this.loadColdBox variable:

component extends="coldbox.system.testing.BaseTestCase"{
	// Do not load the Virtual Application
	this.loadColdBox = false;
}

That's it! You will be able to use anything from the BaseTestCase but the virtual application will not be loaded.
