03/27/2023, 6:30 PMHaving the CF server path I can successfully install CF2021 packages hard coding the .commandbox server name in the path ( i.e. cfpm.bat install sqlserver ). Q: how can I get the the server name dynamically? (or is there a better way to install CF2021 packages with commandbox?)

03/27/2023, 6:33 PM@Marco Al of that is unecessary. Just use the

03/27/2023, 6:34 PM Copy code
CommandBox> cfpm install debuggerbdw429s
03/27/2023, 6:35 PMWhen run from the root of the server, CommandBox will find the actual

03/27/2023, 7:08 PMThanks Brad that works. I have another related question, I am running a script that starts the CF server and then runs the cfpm install command in a box recipe. Problem is that I always get "The xxx package is missing" error before the scripts finish running, at the end all is good but I want to skip the interim error. Any ideas? Maybe there is -force param to skip that check?

03/27/2023, 7:20 PMI'm not really clear on what you're describing

03/27/2023, 7:20 PMWhere exactly is this error coming from? From Adobe's cfpm shell script or from CommandBox?

03/27/2023, 7:24 PMThat has nothing to do with the execution of cfpm however
bdw429s
03/27/2023, 7:24 PMThat just means the package isn't installed
bdw429s
03/27/2023, 7:25 PMSo I'm not clear what the issue is

03/27/2023, 7:25 PMAlso, I usually just put my cfpm call in a server script that runs automatically when the server starts, so there's no need for a recipe or anything

03/27/2023, 7:26 PM Copy code
{
"scripts": {
"onServerInstall": "cfpm install orm,pdf"
}
}bdw429s
03/27/2023, 7:26 PMJust integrate that into your
server.jsonbdw429s
03/27/2023, 7:26 PMNow if it's not running or something, then you'd need to provide the actual console output to debug

03/27/2023, 7:27 PMBut doing it in the package script actually installs the modules prior to CF starting the first time
