Commandbox question: is there a way to pre-download a ColdFusion/Lucee version into the artifacts folder without starting up a server using that version? When 2018u14 becomes available I want to download it and add a needed patch jar to it before it gets used by an existing/new Commandbox-controlled server. I did look through the documentation at commandbox.ortusbooks.com but I didn't find anything that answered that directly.

This has been answered by brad for sure in this slack. I can't find it though...

You can do

Copy code

install lucee@1.2.3

Copy code

start cfengine=lucee@1.2.3 --dryRun

in a random folder, but both of those options will leave you with some stuff you'd need to delete.

There is no command that JUST downloads to artifacts, though I've contemplated making one.

Copy code

I got distracted with an interview. But I was going to say that its a flag and can be found with tab complete `server start --`

Yeah, you're thinking of

--dryRun

but it's worth noting it will still create a server home on disk and a server definition in CommandBox.

So if you `cd`'d into a random folder (with no server already defined in it) and ran

Copy code

start cfengine=... --dryRun
server forget --forget

then it wouldn't leave anything behind
