Fix typo in README.md from 'functional' to 'functions'

[michaeldiederich]

Notice for Filename for getting Tests running

[zainforbjs]

@michaeldiederich Just to clarify — the functional/ directory name is correct and intentional, as it represents functional tests (which in our case cover end-to-end behavior). So no change is needed there.

Also, the note added to the README is already documented in the official Wheels testing documentation. It might be worth avoiding duplication or instead referencing the existing docs to keep things consistent.

Well, the wheels-base-template has a ExampleSpecs.cfc Test in the functions-folder and the functions-Folder is not mentioned in the documentation, so I guessed, the code is right and the documentation should be renamed. So the wheels-base-template should be renamed?

Thanks for clarifying!

If the functions/ folder exists in the wheels-base-template but isn’t documented, then the issue is likely that the template is out of sync with the current testing structure.
In Wheels 3.0, the intended structure is:

• specs/unit/
• specs/integration/
• specs/functional/

So rather than renaming the documentation to match the template, I believe the template should be updated to reflect the documented structure. We can rename the folder from Functions to Functional.

Thanks for catching this inconsistency @michaeldiederich! After looking into it, I agree with @zainforbjs — functional/ is the correct name. No major framework uses functions/ as a test directory name (functional/ aligns with Django and legacy Rails conventions, while Laravel uses feature/, modern Rails uses system/, and NestJS uses e2e/). The template folder was the typo, not the README.

I've pushed the rename in #1872 which should close this issue.
