TestBox Support for Visual Studio Code

This extension provides support for the TestBox BDD/TDD framework in Visual Studio Code by Ortus Solutions.

Target Platforms

• TestBox 5.x+
• TestBox 4.x+

Features

Jump to Spec

A "Jump to specific TestBox spec" is available in the command pallete. This lets you quickly search for and jump to a specific spec in the currently open file.

You can add a custom keyboard shortcut for this yourself in your Keyboard Shortcuts menu or use the default of shift+cmd+t

TestBox Run Commands

We have also added a few commands to the command pallete to help you with your testing:

You can :

• Run the entire test harness
• Run the bundle you have currently open
• Run the spec you have your cursor on
• Run the previous tests

TestBox Configuration

We have now added a configuration panel so you can configure the runners and commands. You can access it via the command pallete or the settings panel.
