Executes the selected mxunit tests in your default browser. MxUnit is a unit test framework/library written for ColdFusion. You can learn more about MxUnit at http://mxunit.org/ : I have no affiliation with the smart folks who wrote MxUnit. I just wanted a tool to help me use MxUnit from within VSCode.

Will run a full test file or a selected test in your default browser.

To run a full file open the file, make sure no text is highlighted and run the mxunitrunner. To run a specific test highlight the name of the test and then run the mxunitrunner.

You can run the mxunitrunner in two different ways:

1. via ctrl+alt+p and then entering "mxunit"
2. ctrl+shift+x on windows or cmd+shift+x on mac

You need to have mxunit installed and working. You also need to configure the extension on a workplace basis.

This extension contributes the following settings:

• mxunit.baseUrl: the root url of the website where the mxunit test should be run.

Here is an example of how this works. I have a project called WARP with unittests in a directory under WARP called 'unittets' sort of like:

c:\websites\WARP\Site\WARP
c:\websites\WARP\Site\WARP\unittests\..

The website url on my dev machine is http://warp.com/warp so I use that as my mxunit.baseUrl in my workspace settings I have :

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite default and user settings.
{
    "mxunit" : {
        "baseUrl":"http://warp.com/warp" 
    }
    
}

Then when I am in a unit test file say at c:\websites\WARP\Site\WARP\unittests\com\importers\specialImporterTests.cfc I can hit the key combo for my platform and it will open a browser window that takes me to http://warp.com/warp/unittests/com/importers/specialImporterTests.cfc?method=runtestremote&output=html

If you select (highlight) a specific test name in the test cfc file and then hit the key combo it will execute just that test: http://warp.com/warp/unittests/com/importers/specialImporterTests.cfc?method=runtestremote&output=html&testMethod=xmlFromOperatorTests

So pretty straightforward and simple really but does depend on the convention that your unit tests are somewhere within your actual website.

A few people have been using it and the readme is now pretty complete so I'm just baselining it at 1.0.0.
