RemoteFacade URL Basics

This plugin works by making soap (i.e. webservice) calls to a URL. By default, that URL is to a RemoteFacade.cfc that comes bundled with the MXUnit framework. When you first installed the plugin, it made a reasonable attempt at guessing the location of this Remote URL, but more than likely it guessed wrong... so you'll need to set it up correctly.

How

  1. Window -- Preferences -- MXUnit
  2. Check and correct the URL if necessary. For example, maybe it currently reads "http://localhost/mxunit/framework/RemoteFacade.cfc"
  3. but your CF installation is at localhost:8501. Change the URL accordingly.

Overriding the URL for special cases

There are times when your project won't be able to point to the URL you have configured in the global preferences:

In these cases, you'll need to override the RemoteFacade URL at the project level.
