With the advent of ColdBox 2.0.1 you are now able to unit test your event handlers, plugins, etc. I just completed a step by step guide on how to do this with the provided source in the bundle. Another interesting note is that the ColdBox Dashboard generates applications for you and yes, it also generates the unit tests for it.

BoxLang 1.19.0: See Everything Your Code Does

Ortus Solutions today announces the release of BoxLang 1.19.0, the software productivity platform for building, modernizing and running applications, with developers and AI agents working together. This release is about observability: built-in code coverage and execution profiling, the missing post-invocation events for BIFs, and new query and transaction events, and it pairs with the new BxLens beta, the debug bar and ops console that exposes hotspots and bytecode profilers. It also adds your own global settings in boxlang.json, static method interception, raw binary HTTP streaming and a lot of hardening across JDBC, Java interop and CFML compatibility.
