Background

When we want to create a ColdFusion application (in our development environment, a separate box from my PC) we setup an IIS (internet information services) site with a physical location holding all the CFCs CFMs etc that make up our site).

As I understand it MXUnit needs to be on the webroot, as do the tests themselves so I create virtual directories to mxunit and my tests folder within IIS. I also give this site a binding (for accessing the site from my browser, I also edit my hosts file on my PC). These are then setup as ColdFusion sites using the wsconfig.exe that is provided.

In order to get MXUnit to work within Eclipse I need to set where it can find the RemoteFacade within the mxunit library is; this is relative to my binding. So I might set that it's location is:

http://dev19-site1/mxunit/framework/RemoteFacade.cfc

enter image description here

However; every time I have want to run my unit tests for different site I have to change these settings to

http://dev19-DIFFERENTSITE/mxunit/framework/RemoteFacade.cfc

Or else MXunit claims not to be able to find my CFCs (which makes sense as they are under a different webroot)

This gets a little irritating as I may be working on several sites at once.

Question

Is it possible to set up MXUnit in such a way that changing the particular webroot I'm working on (but all on the same box) doesn't involve me having to constantly change the MXUnit settings?

Absolutely. You can set these settings at the project, or any directory, as well.

Right click on a project or directory in Eclipse, select "MXUnit", and go from there.

For more information, click on the green "Help" icon in the MXUnit View, and you'll find full explanations.
