Question

What to use for feature testing

I have searched high and low and cannot figure this one out.  My boss has tasked me with creating a feature test for the CF site I manage and suggested using Cucumber since that's what they're using to test other sites.  However, they're all using the Java version, and I don't know Java.  I tried using the PHP version but apparently it doesn't work on Windows.

So, I'm stuck and my boss isn't going to be happy when I tell her as much! So, I'm trying to find out what I can use to write and execute feature tests on Windows of a ColdFusion site.

Any suggestions (that might help me keep my job *smile*)?

Thanks!

If the Windows server is running Apache, you can get the PHP version to work.

I tried cuke4php and it wouldn't work because it was claiming a fork() function was unimplemented and all my searching told me that you can't really get the fork() function to work on Windows.

I'm running Apache 2.2 but it's just an XP machine, not Windows Server or anything.

Have you successfully gotten cuke4php to work?  I'd love to chat with you if so!

Thanks!

I've never worked with cuke4php.  I've only installed (once) XAMPP on a WinXP SP3 system, and don't really know how to configure it (I'm a ColdFusion developer who took some PHP tutorials out of curiosity.)

But I believe that Apache does have a stand-alone Windows installer; install it and follow instructions on how to get PHP working on it, then you can use that for feature testing.
