anyone know of a really good walkthrough/tutorial on coldbox futures and its general async programming. Have just picked it up and its awesome but would like to know more on the general do's donts and general implementation practices. Found the general docs but maybe my ability to google today just sucks

Did you attend ITB 2022? If so, there’s a session from there on CFCasts: https://cfcasts.com/series/into-the-box-2022/videos/luis-majano-to-the-future-with-cbfutures

(That link will 404 if you don’t have access / didn’t attend)

There’s a GitHub repo that goes along with that session / workshop that is public: https://github.com/lmajano/to-the-future-with-cbFutures

ahaa thx u - think i may have found it elsewhere

A bit older, but still mostly relevant.

This might not be a specific box question, but since I had some issues with null handling in some box modules in the past, I am asking here. Both ACF and Lucee have full null support now in recent versions, so is there any reason why you should NOT enable full null support nowadays for new projects? It makes code cleaner and in one of my projects I never had any issues with it, but I was wondering how other people handle this.

I like the idea, especially with queries and getting actual null results for columns.

That said, I generally don’t have it on because of compatibility reasons with older code.

But I look forward to that magical day.

That's really just because that's a very common env var name in ColdBox apps, so it's a useful fallback if you haven't set anything else explicitly.

Not sure if there is a solution in the route, but if not you could use an

isNumeric()

to determine what type the value is

Hi, I'm working on migrating from quick v4 to quick v5. I see virtual attributes behave a little differently (they appear persistent across getInstance calls); wondering if that's by design?

CFML News Podcast going live now!!!!

I am having an issue with quick. It seems with v5 there is a change with how relationship instances work. The following code use to honor the

retrieveQuery

method but now longer has any effect.

var prefix = getInstance('IpPrefix').find(1);
var ipAddresses = prefix
	.ipAddresses() //relationship instance
    .orderBy('id', 'asc')
	.retrieveQuery()
	.get();

Could the quick experts weigh in? @elpete @sknowlton

Hi folks, looking to have my commandbox project auto refresh the page on save. Google is coming up short - is there anything reasonable available for this? There seem tbe options for .html files on vscode. Thanks!

I'm trying to use a regex to make sure a password contains a uppercase, lowercase, number and symbol. I am using the following code:

var result = validateModel(
			target = rc,
			constraints = {
				...
				"password" : {
					"required" : true,
					"regex" : "/(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\W)/",
					"size": "6..255"
				},
				"passwordConfirmation" : { "required" : true, "sameAs" : "password" }
			}
		);

However no matter what I put in it gives the validator error:

The 'password' value does not match the regular expression: /(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\W)/

. I tried testing my regex using a regex tester https://www.regextester.com/ and used the string

Ok12345!

and verified it was correct. Any ideas?

Running into an issue with

ortussolutions/commandbox:adobe2021

I am unable to use cfpm to install any packages. I am getting the error CommandBox> cfpm install mail run /bin/bash "/usr/local/lib/serverHome/WEB-INF/cfusion/bin/cfpm.sh" install mail One or more packages require the server to be at update 5. Since the server is at update 4, you must install the update 5 of the server. After upgrading the server update, the packages can be installed.

@jclausen Are the forgebox packages for Adobe ColdFusion automated? Adobe just released Update 5 but ForgeBox only has Update 4. Some of the packages now require Update 5, but did I mention that ForgeBox only has Update 4. If they are automated then I assume all will be well in the world when Update 5 gets added tonight, if it is a manual process, can I entice someone to walk over to the hamster cage and feed the hamsters. 😉

Okay I'm stumped on this one....ColdBox 6.8.1 (I've tried a few different revs, same problem) and TestBox 4.0.0 or 4.5.0 (same problem with both versions). The ColdBox app itself seems to start up fine. However when I to run my tests via /tests/runner.cfm I'm getting the error seen here. Any ideas? It's as if variables.log isn't getting constructed properly?

Has anyone done anything with Slack and LogBox to render the extraInfo struct into the posting? Looking for examples and inspiration 🙂

Another quick issue. I am trying to apply a where filter on my entity without using method chaining. if I do not chain the methods quick will not apply the where clause. I feel like I am missing something obvious. @sknowlton

// this does work
var entity = getInstance('Device').where('id',4);

// this does NOT work
var entity = getInstance('Device')
local.entity.where('id',4);

//get the result
var result = entity.get();
writeDump(var=result, top=2);

Is it possible to create a CFC model and use migrations commands to create the table in the database?

@bdw429s I am getting a weird error when trying to start up a commandbox server using the official docker ortus container. This seems to only happens when the

BOX_INSTALL: 'true'

environment variables is true

any ideas?

I’m running ACF 2021 in CommandBox. I try to use CFPM…I get the error: “No Adobe 2021+ server found”. I googled. Didn’t find anything that worked. server.json has: “app”{“cfengine”“adobe@2021"}

@bdw429s just an idea for commandbox it would be cool if the box CLI could be configured to "pass through" some commands to the normal terminal and pipe the responses out, would be super handy for example if any command starting with "git" passed through so I could checkout/change/merge without switching terminals
