I'm getting a stack overflow error when I try to

server start

on a remote EC2 instance. It has something to do with Globber.cfc, I'll put part of the verbose error in the thread. Any ideas? This server runs fine locally. Same version of CommandBox (5.9.0+00721) on both.

Without seeing the full stack trace, it's impossible to know what use of the globber is having issues here

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 6:45 PM

the full stack trace is so huge I can't even scroll back to the beginning in my console

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:45 PM

The

"rulesFile":"config/docker/rules.json"

setting can be a globbing pattern, so it COULD be related to that.

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:45 PM

Can you remove that and see if it goes away?

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 6:45 PM

yep, standby

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:45 PM

If a blank server works, then I'd add in stuff until you find the bad apple

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:47 PM

the

.env

path may also use globbing-- I forget off the top of my head

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:49 PM

Lol, here's the comment above the line that's recursing

Copy code

// If we're inside a **, then we just blindly recurse forever
				if( arguments.path.type == 'dir' && remainingPattern.startsWith( '**' ) ) {
					processPattern( thisPattern, local.thisPath, skipExcludes )

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 6:49 PM

I removed both env and rules and now it works. Removing rules only did not work

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 6:49 PM

yes, I saw that, 🤣

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:49 PM

Whatever logic is supposed to be ending the recursion isn't working

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:50 PM

What's interesting is you aren't even using any wildcards in your rules file path

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 6:50 PM

Imma try putting rules back. I'm not sure I even need the .env? Since commandbox-dotenv should be loading those vars in?

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:51 PM

Yeah, pretty sure

Copy code

"dotenvFile":".env",

is redundant since that's already the default file it looks for

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:51 PM

So, is the

config/docker/rules.json

relative to the folder the

server.json

lives in?

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 6:51 PM

yes

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:52 PM

That logic is here BTW

Copy code

if( serverJSON.keyExists( 'web' ) && serverJSON.web.keyExists( 'rulesFile' ) ) {
			if( isSimpleValue( serverJSON.web.rulesFile ) ) {
				serverJSON.web.rulesFile = serverJSON.web.rulesFile.listToArray();
			}
			serverInfo.webRules.append( serverJSON.web.rulesFile.reduce((predicates,fg)=>{
				fg = fileSystemUtil.resolvePath( fg, site.serverConfigFileDirectory );
				return predicates.append( wirebox.getInstance( 'Globber' ).setPattern( fg ).matches().reduce( (predicates,file)=>{
						if( lCase( file ).endsWith( '.json' ) ) {
							return predicates.append( deserializeJSON( fileRead( file ) ), true );
						} else {
							return predicates.append( fileRead( file ).listToArray( chr(13)&chr(10) ), true );
						}
					}, [] ), true );
			}, []), true );
		}

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 6:52 PM

OK, I added rulesFile back and it still works without dotenvFile

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:52 PM

Oh, hmm. So is the dotenv the one causing issues?

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:53 PM

Or the server rules?

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 6:53 PM

the dotenv

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 6:53 PM

could it have to do with the fact that the actual ./.env is symlinked to ../shared/.env?

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 6:54 PM

I use Capistrano for deploys and it creates symlinks for shared config files, like .env

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:54 PM

Hmm, symlinks always come with the possibility of screwing stuff up, lol

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:55 PM

The dotenvfile is treated like so

Copy code

// Then look for a key in the actual server.json
        if ( serverJSON.keyExists( "dotenvFile" ) && len( serverJSON.dotenvFile ) ) {
        	serverEnvFile = serverEnvFile.listAppend(
        		serverJSON.dotenvFile.listMap( ( f ) => variables.fileSystemUtil.resolvePath( f, getDirectoryFromPath( serverInfo.serverConfigFile ) ) )
        	);
        }

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:55 PM

So it's a list of files, which are each expanded based on the directory of the server.json file

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:56 PM

Then we find the files here https://github.com/commandbox-modules/commandbox-dotenv/blob/master/interceptors/LoadEnvPreServers.cfc#LL56C3-L70C8

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 6:56 PM

I've had endless loops in Globber before-- often times due to slash mishandling or bad assumptions in a drive root, but in order to fix, I basically need to be able to reproduce

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:01 PM

OK. I'm now trying to just load the app to make sure it's working without that dotenvFile key. I gotta fix a couple other things in my security group that are keeping me from verifying it

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:01 PM

OK, doing a quick local test with that same config and file location

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:02 PM

locally (Mac) this works fine. the Ec2 instance is Ubuntu

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:03 PM

Yeah, works here too

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:04 PM

Also, that setting is totally ignored

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:04 PM

This code gets hit

Copy code

// If it's the same as the one we loaded above, ignore it
				if ( f == webRootEnvFile ) {
					return;
				}

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:04 PM

dotenv recognizes that it's the same file it already loaded based on the web root convention

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:05 PM

Out of curiosity, what do you get if you run this in CommandBox

Copy code

ls /path/to/your/.env

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:05 PM

Since CommandBox's

ls

uses the Globber as well, that should be the rough equivalent

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:07 PM

Copy code

commandbox-dotenv: Loading environment variables from [/home/deploy/dealstream/releases/20230510190336/.env] for command [ls]
May 10,2023  19:05:36   H         0.3 KB   .env

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:07 PM

Hmm 🤔

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:07 PM

And that's the symlink'd file?

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:07 PM

yes

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:09 PM

ok, so turns out I'm not getting the error anymore but also the server is not actually starting

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:09 PM

I recieve the typical response to server start:

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:09 PM

I tried making a symlink locally on Windows, but I still can't reproduce

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:09 PM

Copy code

seandaniels

Not sure where I would look to see why it's failing to start. I'm used to looking in tomcat/catalina.out for this type of stuff.

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:11 PM

(I'm in the process of migrating from nginx/tomcat based hosts to commandbox)

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:11 PM

Do a

--console --verbose

start

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:11 PM

Your start above was async, so if there was an error, you wouldn't see it

👍 1

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:12 PM

Also, those stupid Java args push all the useful text out of what we track

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:12 PM

I've already adjusted that on the CommandBox bleeding edge

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:12 PM

ok. it has to do with my webroot, which is also a symlink 😩

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:13 PM

ugh

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:13 PM

So you have a symlink inside of a symlink?

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:14 PM

uh, yeah

/home/deploy/app/current

is a symlink to

/home/deploy/app/releases/20230510XXXXX

and inside that are a few symlinked files.

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:14 PM

This is how Capistrano does deploys/rollbacks

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:14 PM

Many a clever thing are done with symlinks, they can also screw up a lot of tools

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:15 PM

i guess I probably need to orchestrate it to copy those files into an actual directory and use that as webroot instead. I had to do that with Tomcat too, because Tomcat does not pick up changes to symlinked directories.

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:15 PM

I'm guessing somewhere in the globber, the symlinked path is getting used instead of the real path or vice versa and which is screwing up logic that expects the path to nest

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:15 PM

I was hoping to avoid that but hey

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:15 PM

If you can create some standalone repro case, I can see if it's possible to detect this in Globber

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:18 PM

at this point I don't think the Globber thing is my issue anymore. If I end up orchestrating copying of all these files, .env won't be a symlink within a symlink anymore and putting that dotenvFile key back in would probably work. I'll let you know.

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:19 PM

Well, that may work around the issue, but I'd also like Globber not to try on symlinks and fall on its face 🙂

👍 1

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:19 PM

I tried creating a symlinked folder with another symlinked file inside of it, but I still can't repro

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:19 PM

Of course, I'm on Windows, which may work differently than Linux in that regard

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:20 PM

yep. I'm trying to figure out how to create a reproducible case for you

listing the file was fine, but starting a server in that symlinked folder while trying to load that symlinked file has locked me up!

Ugh, now I have to kill the CLI eye roll🤣

Well, what the heck. Now it's not hanging and I can't figure out what changed 🤔

bdw429s

The absolute path to

.env

was getting expanded to

\\.env

which was clearly wrong, but after putting in some debugging and restarting the CLI, it's working now and expanding to the correct path

ha. I finally have the server standing up but I can't access it from where I am. I think probably because by default the server binds only to 127.0.0.1? I should add host="0.0.0.0", right? (trying to find this in the docs)

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:37 PM

Yes

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:37 PM

is this Docker or just a based

box server start

you're doing on your own?

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:37 PM

Because our docker images automatically set the host to

0.0.0.0

for you

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 7:37 PM

on my own

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 7:37 PM

Ok, then you'll want to bind to 0.0.0.0 to hit the ports externally

seandaniels

I hope to eventually move to docker, thus the config path names. This is an intermediate step

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 8:05 PM

Yeah, in docker, your rollback mechanism is the entire image you create

bdw429s

05/10/2023, 8:06 PM

So it's just a matter of deploying the previous image version.

seandaniels

05/10/2023, 8:07 PM

yep. looking forward to that. I have docker stuff working locally, just have to grok how best to deploy to AWS.

I'm so done with boutique servers

@seandaniels I’m doing something along these lines to run CF in docker on AWS - using cloud formation to script the infrastructure once you have an idea how it all goes together - a good starting point is https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/running-adobe-coldfusion-applications-on-amazon-ecs-with-blue-green-deployments/

I went the whole hog and use code build to build and test the images into AWS ECR, code pipeline to then notice and deploy the changes using code deploy for the blue green deploy above - MUCH better then stand alone servers I think

seandaniels

I have another app I'm using this same approach for @dougcain. I find that deployments take a really long time though. I'm used to being able to push code changes in < 30 seconds, and the blue/green thing seems to take 5+ minutes, plus requires manual intervention to "cutover" once the new containers are deployed. Do you find the same or am I missing something?

seandaniels

05/11/2023, 1:06 PM

Oh wait, interesting. This is a different article, and possibly approach than what I used. I will look into this! Thank you.

the blue green deployment usually takes a couple of minutes as we have a test traffic stage to test and prime the new container before full traffic is routed. The actual deployment has been seamless since I have been running it with no manual step. My main pain point is when we build the container and run our tests (2000+) before its deployed - this can take 30 minutes - due to the adobe cf compiler being dog slow when running test box - we have spent months trying to get Adobe to realise this is a problem and fix it 😞 We have had to adjust our expectations of deploying the production app to take the 30 minute build cycle into account - would be nice if it was quicker but its automated, known and testable.

i think @bdw429s has had a similar battle with Adobe and compiler issues

bdw429s

05/11/2023, 5:47 PM

Yes, Adobe's compilers is dog slow, at least compared to Lucee's

bdw429s

05/11/2023, 5:48 PM

I've run many tests which show in a first-boot scenario given a stock ColdBox app • Lucee will be serving requests in about 4 seconds • Adobe will be serving requests in around 60 seconds, maybe more.

bdw429s

05/11/2023, 5:48 PM

It's all 100% compilation time (confirmed with fusionreactor stack traces)

bdw429s

05/11/2023, 5:49 PM

The core of the issue is Adobe uses try/caught exceptions for flow control in their parser which is DOG slow because it's throwing and catching exceptions thousands and thousands of times as it tokenizes the code.

bdw429s

05/11/2023, 5:50 PM

I spent several weeks going back and forth with an engineer to who told me to my face (over slack 😆 ) that the code in the

coldfusion.compiler...

package was "JDK code" and adobe didn't control it. They refused to even acknowledge ownership of their code, let alone the issue.

bdw429s

05/11/2023, 5:50 PM

Yes, I'm still bitter 😁

@bdw429s had a similar experience with a lot of test cases to no avail - @Mark Takata (Adobe) is this something your aware of? It makes a big difference when trying to use containers with CF on things like AWS fargate etc.
