Updated doc for deprecated namespace

[Dave Burns]

Hi, guys. Not urgent but:

I'm using mxunit:dataprovider which I see in the main doc page (http://wiki.mxunit.org/display/default/Data+driven+testing+with+MXUnit+dataproviders). At the bottom there's a note about how to use those in cfscript-based tests using annotations in comments (yuk). I Googled and found this: http://code.google.com/p/mxunit/issues/detail?id=170. I saw Bob's comment at the bottom so I tried taking out the 'mxunit:' and all worked fine.

Probably makes sense to update the wiki - maybe even the CFML examples if the namespace is truly deprecated?

I do not believe it's been officially deprecated. In fact, I've come
to prefer it.

Ah, I guess the thread in that link was unclear to me. Still, the colon interferes with script-based tests. Is support official for both forms then (with and without the namespace prefix)?

[Marc Esher]

Sorry, but I think I'm missing something. How does the colon interfere
with script based tests?

Marc - See the link in my original post above for a complete description with examples. In short, if you write your test CFCs in cfscript then "mxunit:" annotations make ColdFusion's syntax checker throw an error. It doesn't like colons. Since this is legit in CFML syntax, it's probably a bug in Adobe's cfscript parser.

[Marc Esher]

Are you using an old version of CF? Because as of 9.0.1 (released
quite some time ago), that was fixed. I assure you, all of my cfscript
tests which use mxunit:dataprovider work as expected.

To answer your question, yes, both mxunit:dataprovider and
dataprovider will work. And I doubt at this point we'll deprecate the
namespace.

Aha. I'm on 9.0.0 for compatibility with a customer that can't upgrade. Good to know.

Sorry to hear that Dave. I'll update the docs to indicate required
version and try to clear up the confusion.

Thanks.
