Extending

Adding database support

Currently there are two databases that are supported: MySQL and MS SQL. Others can be added by creating a new CFC that implements IDAOConnector.cfc. The CFC name would then be the "dbtype" argument passed to the init method when instantiating dao.cfc. So if you have otherrdbs.cfc, you'd instantiate as: dao = new dao( dbType = 'otherrdbs' );

Running the Tests

To run tests, you'll need CommandBox installed.

Then run box install once to install the dependencies (TestBox is the only one currently).

Then start a server on port 8500 with your choice of CFML engine, e.g.,

box server start cfengine=lucee@5 port=8500

Now you'll need a database, and to setup a DSN named dao in the cfml engine's admin (http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator for Adobe CF or http://localhost:8500/lucee/admin/server.cfm for Lucee).

You can then run the tests:

box testbox run verbose=false

If you get any failures, you can run this with more verbose, but still compact output:

box testbox run reporter=mintext
