We are proud to announce MockBox 2.0. This new version of MockBox sports out great new mocking capabilities that will make you want to mock immediately. You can read our What's new with MockBox 2.0 to get a better idea of this release.

Below are the major areas we concentrated in this release:

 

 

Fixes

  • Updates for ColdBox 3.5.3 integrations

Enhancements

  • New mocking method: $getProperty(name, scope) that allows you to retrieve any private variable in any scope.
  • createStub() has been expanded so you can pass in an argument called extends so it can create the stub by extending it from a real class. This allows you to do real type check stubs and also simulated stubs.
  • createStub() has been expanded so you can pass in an argument called implements so it can create the stub by actually implementing 1 or more interfaces on demand. MockBox will then create the stub and generate all the necessary methods to satisfy all the interfaces so you can mock with elegance!

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

MatchBox and WebAssembly: Running BoxLang in the Browser and at the Edge

The MatchBox open beta is live at https://boxlang.ortusbooks.com/boxlang-framework/matchbox, and it brings something genuinely new to the BoxLang ecosystem: a path into WebAssembly.

That means BoxLang code can now move into browser applications, static-site deployments, edge runtimes, and WASI-style containers - without requiring a JVM. The feature is still beta, but the core direction is already useful: write BoxLang, compile it with MatchBox, and ship the generated WASM artifact to wherever a small portable runtime makes sense.
