Anyone else install the VSCode plugin and have the buttons not work? I click Add Server and nothing happens. I'm also seeing a popup when I enable the extension saying "Java version greater than 7 is required to run CFML extension". But when I go to the command line and run

java -version

it spits out: java version "18.0.2" 2022-07-19 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 18.0.2+9-61) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 18.0.2+9-61, mixed mode, sharing)

BRB loading VS Code on SteamDeck.

did anyone else try to use the VS Code Extension on Linux? VS Code works on Linux, so I thought the extension would, too. Turns out I can connect to a CF server and use the RDS stuff, but, I cannot create a project. Upon reporting this, I was told the extension works supports Win and Mac only. But, given that MacOS at it's core basically is a BSD variant, I can't be too difficult to modify it so that Linux users can use it as well, can it?

are there any plans to add any kind of dynamic resolution of CFC's / function definitions in this new VSCode plugin ?

in the new vs code extension is there a way to comment out a line or selected lines with a keystroke? in the other extension i could use "command + /" to auto comment a line or block. found out i used this feature a lot when i switched to the adobe extension and it wasn't there.

@priyank_adobe This page https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/reserved-words-and-variables/cgi-environment-cgi-scope-variables.html lists

cgi.cert_cookie

as a possible CGI variable, however this page https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/reserved-words-and-variables/cgi-environment-cgi-scope-variables/cgi-server-variables.html doesn't define what it is or what value it may contain. Are there any docs explaining this?

Curious, are the team at Adobe still working hard on the CFML language server for VSCode ? what expectations are there to get different patterns working ? service locator / factory / singleton, etc ?

My vote is in! Anything to do with developing in Linux or adjacent tech, please let the team know there's interest. Votes count.

@sandip_halder @Mark Takata (Adobe) One of our new 2021 servers shows this in the logs at startup:

SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:{lib directory}/log4j-slf4j-impl-2.17.2.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:{lib directory}/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.12.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]

The server starts up and runs seemingly fine. Those are the same log4j version. • Which of those is supposed to be there?

Today, I started playing around with the

abstract

keyword that was added in cf2018. Before I go filing bugs, I want to know if what I'm doing is supposed to work.

@Mark Takata (Adobe) I am only seeing CF2021 images on Docker Hub? IE: no CF2018?

Hi

Hopefully some announcements coming later today about CF Summit (good things!). Reminder, if you have not registered yet, get yourself in there and book your room. Our conference rate rooms are the ones you will want. We still have $109 rooms available in our block. No virtual version available, in-person only (sorry, thanks new Vegas rules!). Come see me in person so we can play Pokemon on the strip together! https://cfsummit.adobeevents.com/

RE the "no swimming" aspect: Hypothetically, if it would just so happen that someone was "accidentally" bumped or thrown into the pool, are they allowed to swim? Asking for a friend.

Seemingly daft question. How does one set the minimum log level for a log in CF? EG: I have a log,

something.log

, and I want to set its log level to be "ERROR", so that any

writeLog

calls to it on a lower logging level don't log. All I can find is a global entry in `/opt/coldfusion/cfusion/lib/neo-logging.xml`:

<var name='priority'><string>information</string></var>

However I don't see how to set that in the CFAdmin UI. But even then, I don't want the global setting, I want to set it on a specific log.

@priyank_adobe @Mark Takata (Adobe) I've talked about this before, but haven't addressed it directly to Adobe, and now I am. This is very frustrating, and hurts both CF's credibility and mine with the powers that be. We're experiencing recurring periods where a lot of nonsense errors are thrown. In the most recent case, nothing was promoted up to production in the past week, so zero code changes, and today mid-day we got a blast of these: • Element EXECUTIONMODE is undefined in THISTAG • Could not find the included template, referring to a template that DOES exist and is used on lots of pages These are the same errors we've seen before. Clearing the template cache fixed it, as it has in the past, but typically it comes back some days later. Does anyone there have any idea what could be causing this? Any idea how to troubleshoot it, or better yet, prevent it? I've filed an issue about it in the tracker, but without steps to reproduce, I'm not very hopeful. But reproducible steps or not, this IS happening, and when it does, it more or less takes the site down, until we manually clear the template cache. This is a mission critical 24x7x365 app used for critical client care. Not good.

Ok. This seems extremely simple but want to be 100% certain. If I'm running CF2021 then the ONLY version of Java I should be running is the latest version of 11, correct? https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/01/table-of-java-to-cf-versions/

So, a quick heads up for all my ACF peeps. Starting on August 19th and going through to August 29th, I will be on leave. For those folks who care, I will be taking my mother to Hawaii on what might be one of her last trips out of the continental United States (her health has been declining & the last time she was in Hawaii I was 11). I am counting on you to keep the fort here from burning down. Priyank & Sandip will still be here during this time, and I will leave them a list of my stupid jokes & bad puns so you don't all miss me too much. I've been told quite sternly to ACTUALLY be offline, not to log in here, etc while on my PTO (I apparently have a habit of NOT doing that. Imagine...). I will leave a full list of contacts for folks if anything goes sideways or if folks need info about Summit while I'm gone. I'm still here Tue-Thur next week (Monday is a global Adobe mental wellness day) so you still have time to hit me up with things.

The VS Code extension team got me past some initial issues with the plugin, but I'm running into some issues with using the debugger. I'll start a thread, and anyone else who's hitting issues (or wants to help me with my problems! 🙂 can jump in)

I'm more of a shortcut guy and wouldn't likely use the buttons much/ever

That would be a nice feature. Or make it dockable elsewhere. Something. That spot is pretty busy.

I am going to assume everyone here is aware of CFSummit 2022 and those who can go have already registered, right? No need for me to post memes and the like? Cuz I'll do it. I'm wild like that.

Anyone au fait with the CF installation app? Question here: https://stackoverflow.com/q/73406601/894061

Is this page https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/coldfusion-builder-extension-for-visual-studio-co[…]-started-coldfusion-builder-extension-visual-studio-code.html the updated version of this beta doc? https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/vscode/Beta_ColdFusion_extension_for_Visual_Studio_Code.pdf

question re: the VS Code debugger. This looks like it's geared to debugging a specific file by running it also, if my active editor is for a non-cf file (like a .env file or a .txt file), and I try to start the debugger, it gives me an error notification saying "This debug configuration supports only cfml files.."

OK you crazy kids, I'm off on my PTO. Please direct support questions to Priyank & Sandip as usual, and documentation to Saurav. If you need specific evangelist type questions answered (CFSummit, etc) you can get in touch with Kishore@adobe.com. He is principle marketing manager for CF and is usually the person I get answers from anyhow lol. Sales/licensing questions go to Jan (jnayak@adobe.com). I'm back on the 29th. I'll miss you all dearly in the meantime. ❤️

@Mark Takata (Adobe) Have a wonderful and RELAXING time with your mom. Cherish this time together.

Just a heads up for anyone having issues getting the VS Code plugin to work, our team has had a couple people have the UI not be responsive and were able to resolve it by ensuring that the VS Code

settings.json

file has no trailing commas or comments in it. Basically, needs to be syntactically valid vanilla JSON.

If anyone else is having trouble getting the debugger to work, I filed this issue: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4214808 Feel free to vote if you've run into anything similar.
