| I want to unit test a function within an ESQL node that performs a transformation. Does WMB Toolkit allow you to do this? |

There's no method to execute ESQL code outside of the runtime.
Unless v10 has added this - I've not done much with v10.
For this kind of thing, I always make a very simple flow that uses MQInput/MQOutput and has a compute node that creates a fixed (or set of fixed) input messages. Or, of course, you could send a fixed/known message or set of messages to the input node. |

Yeah that's what I guessed was to use an mq input/output node. Thanks! |

Cool!
As I said, I haven't worked with v10 very much.

The flow exerciser is cool (and my experience is likewise somewhat limited).
It doesn't do exactly what the OP originally wanted; you can't take a function outside of the module and just test that. But it does revolutionize testing a single flow, and that includes a single flow that's the kind of harness described here to test a function.
