Issue with the Generator: Inherited CFC without any methods throw error

[Indy Nagpal]

Hi

When you try and use the Generator to create tests for a CFC that
inherits from another CFC, but does not have any method of its own,
you get an error like:

Element FUNCTIONS is undefined in MD.

The error occurred in /Users/indy/Development/ColdFusion/
jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/cf8/deploy/cfusion.ear/cfusion.war/mxunit/
generator/generate.cfm: line 52

50 : <root>
51 : <component
path="#listDeleteAt(md.name,listLen(md.name,"."),".")#"
name="#listLast(md.name,".")#" fullname="#md.name#">
52 : <cfloop index="method" from="1" to="#arrayLen(md.functions)#">
53 : <method name="#md.functions[method].name#"
54 : <cfif structKeyExists(md.functions[method],"access")>

I quite like the approach taken by the CFC Stub Generator (http://
www.briankotek.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/7/26/CFC-and-CFUnit-Stub-Generator).
It is quite simple and rather than introspecting CFCs you can simply
specify the which CFCs (and functions) to generate the CFC and test
stubs for.

Thanks for finding that. I'll make a change later today to clear that
up for the next release.
