I vaguely remember a module to manage scheduled tasks. Does such a thing exist?

So I'm working on integrating ColdBox into our ancient application (thanks @bdw429s for the help). Question - what are the go to modules in ColdBox? I don't want to go crazy and install modules that I don't need but things like cbValidation look like a no-brainer... any other suggestions?

Can you create an interceptor that will intercept any method called in a cfc?

or does it always need to be specified

I think that might be getting into AOP though as opposed to the interceptors discussed in the docs

Looks like here be the magic you're looking for: https://wirebox.ortusbooks.com/aspect-oriented-programming/aop-intro. @salted you seen this already ^^?

@domwatson I seen that just after I posted this question actually. Will give it a look

Question, for local environments we want to set a javahome in server.json. However, in other environments we don't want/need to set it at all. I can't set it to blank so how can I get around this without using something like .env in non local environments.

Questions: I'm trying to get the Adobe ColdFusion Builder extension for VSCode to work. But I set it up the commandbox and it's saying that the server home is invalid. Is there any fix for that?

Trying to create a simple characters page and it's giving me:

variable [CHARACTER_COUNT] doesn't exist

I am passing in the variable into the view: Handler:

component extends="coldbox.system.EventHandler" secured {

	// Default Action
	function index( event, rc, prc ){
		prc.pageTitle = "Characters";

        var character_count = getInstance("character")
            .where("userid", auth().user().getID() ?: -1 )
            .count();

        if (character_count > 0 ) {

        var characters = getInstance("character")
            .where("id", auth().user().getID() ?: -1 );
        }

		event.setView( "characters/index", { character_count: character_count } );
	}

}

View:

<cfoutput>
		<h1>Characters</h1>
		<cfif character_count EQ 0>
			<p>No Characters, why not create one?</p>
		</cfif>
</cfoutput>

Any ideas?

Is there a ColdBox-y way of listing all registered handlers? I am working on a poc app and when a certain cookie exists there is an interceptor that overrides the current event using

event.overrideEvent

. Currently, if the override doesn’t exist I have it setup to show the 404 page. I would like to be able to check to see if the event exists before overriding it.

I've had a few reports of the latest version of CommandBox/Lucee dumping a bunch of OSGI errors out to the console when you start two instances of CommandBox at the same time. Can anyone confirm if they can reproduce this? I'd like to test a fix I've been playing with (that involves a pull request to Lucee).

Is there a tutorial or guide for setting up a roles based system in Coldfusion using Coldbox and cfSecurity?

So, I've done a tiny bit of ColdBox in the distant past, and we don't use it at work, but I'm still very interested. wanted to take advantage of the free training this month.

So, I've done a tiny bit of ColdBox in the distant past, and we don't use it at work. I'm still very interested though, since IMO it's really the only reasonable CF framework choice at this point, and I've liked what I know. I wanted to take advantage of the free training this month, but I'm up to my eyeballs in Stuff (as in, have to do some work this weekend...), and it's not going to happen. Is there any way to get a rain check on that, and do it later?

I seem to remember an option to reload commandbox on every request (useful when writing commandbox modules), but I cannot find it. Anyone remember it offhand?

Last question of the day… I am wondering if there is a commandbox-y way of using

print

from inside models/services. Currently, if I want to print to the console from a service, I am passing in an instance of

print

as an argument to my service method.

@bdw429s Today when I invoked the box (CommandBox) app, it spewed out a lengthy list of errors that looked like this:

ERROR: Error reloading cached bundle, removing it: C:\Users\bholm\.CommandBox\engine\cfml\cli\lucee-server\felix-cache\bundle9
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\bholm\.CommandBox\engine\cfml\cli\lucee-server\felix-cache\bundle9\<http://bundle.info|bundle.info> (The system cannot find the file specified)

but then it continued on and came to the commandbox prompt. I Quit and tried again thinking it was clearing a cache index but I got the same result. How is this resolved?

It’s not special to ColdBox. It would depend on if your CFC has

accessors="true"

on the metadata. If so, CFML generates

get#propertyName#

and

set#propertyName#

methods you can use. If you don’t want

accessors="true"

on the component, you will need to provide your own methods that access the properties.

the cfc in question has accessors set to true so must be something else 😞

you'd think with all of the commandbox docs, this would be easy to find, but this is the second time i've looked and have come up short. it's been a long time since i used coldbox. could you point me to the docs on simply running and configuring a specific CFML engine to run a site? say i want to run an

index.cfml

in lucee 5.3.10.97?

i had thought that commmandbox's

server start

would have the web root at the current directory, but maybe not? how to do so? (i'm still trying to figure out which directory i'm seeing in the browser.)

is there a way to pull "current table alias" from a quick scope? we of course know tablename, but it might be renamed in a "where scope", so far I have

getInstance("foo").whereHas("bar", (barInstance) => {
	var name = barInstance.getFrom(); // treating barInstance as a QuickBuilder <: QueryBuilder
	writedump(name); // "bartable bartable_1"
	barInstance.where(...)
})

where we'd like to know we need to ref it as

bartable_1

if we put a selectRaw or similar in the scope

i'm new (well, super rusty) to commandbox. i'm trying to set some jvm args but i don't think they're getting picked up. not sure how to troubleshoot this. does

server.json

at least look okay? https://gist.github.com/jamiejackson/96b83c3a83e9ac44a8d6a3699bf59ba5

Hi everyone Is it possible to use the same code base via CommandBox, using two different engines. Let’s say ACF2021 and the latest version of Lucee. Just to slightly complicate matters, we are wiring CommandBox to IIS, via the AJP BonCode Connector. The codebase webroot will have the same system path, like:

C:\domains\<http://acf-lucee.com|acf-lucee.com>\wwwroot\

The reason why it has to use the same system path is because when the application was built, someone hardcoded a system path for many of the mappings in the

Application.cfc

[yes I know. It is legacy code hell 😱] The system path root is:

D:\wwwroot

I have had to use

mklink

to create a Junction on this folder, so that it points to:

C:\domains\<http://acf-lucee.com|acf-lucee.com>\wwwroot\

So, if I have two different engines powering this codebase, both must point to the same physical address. I can see some of the problems here. How can I make the:

server.json

In the the webroot, fire up two different engines? This might work, if I can call `server.json`:

server-lucee.json
server-acf.json

Is this possible? In my recipe, how do I tell CommandBox to look for something other than

server.json

Just a reminder that we are having Ortus Office Hours today at 11am CT. Please register here and come by. 🙂 https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYvcO-hrz8iHNS0C3o0aw2x3JMtmBrKwzfA

Does anyone familiar with Tuckey or Undertow predicates know if there is a way to proxy-pass a subdirectory to an app hosted on another domain? I currently do this with NGINX mapping my

/kb

"directory" to

<http://mydomain.helpjuice.com|mydomain.helpjuice.com>

as described here: https://help.helpjuice.com/en_US/helpjuice-subdir

What is the difference of commandbox server.json "errorPages" "500" and lucee's "Settings - Error 500"? Ultimately I'm seeing error logs for production from undertow failing to display the errorPages defined, but when I try to reproduce an error locally I get Lucee error handler, how can I verify or cause undertow to fail and show its error handler instead?

In my server.json, I have the following:

"fusionreactor":{
        "enable":true,
        "licenseKey":"${FR_LICENSEKEY}",
        "debugEnable":false,
        "port":"8089",
        "password":"${LUCEE_ADMIN_PASSWORD}",
        "cloudGroup":"dealstream,${FR_CLOUDGROUP}",
        "defaultApplicationName":"dealstream",
        "licenseDeactivateOnShutdown":true,
        "ChatEnabled":false
    }

I have the various environment variables referenced in that snippet in a .env file in the same app root. But when I do

server start

, none of those .env variables appear to get populated. I have the commandbox-dotenv package installed... am I missing something?

@bdw429s I was just looking at passkeys and wondering if you had any thoughts on them / how they may work with cbsecurity
