03/11/2022, 5:32 PM@laslo7 That injection DSL hasn't been supported in a long time
bdw429s
03/11/2022, 5:32 PMAre you on a very old version of Coldbox?

03/11/2022, 5:32 PMYeah

bdw429s
03/11/2022, 5:33 PMAll it did was inject a CFC if I recall with basic getters to access the info about the datasource
bdw429s
03/11/2022, 5:33 PMit doesn't actually do anything with your cfqueries, etc
l
laslo7
03/11/2022, 5:33 PMOK that what I thought.
b
bdw429s
03/11/2022, 5:33 PMBut yeah, it just maps to the config in your coldbox.cfc

03/11/2022, 5:33 PMthe version of of CB is coldbox-4.2.0+00002-201603311151

03/11/2022, 5:33 PMin COldBox 4 or so we just replaced that entirely with basic coldbox settings
bdw429s
03/11/2022, 5:34 PMSo you just move the same data to the
settingscoldbox:setting:myDSN☝🏾 1

03/11/2022, 5:35 PMHonestly, the dsn settings IMO are only useful if you actually name the datasource differently between dev/prod/and stage
bdw429s
03/11/2022, 5:35 PMif your app uses the same DSN name everywhere, it's sort of moot
bdw429s
03/11/2022, 5:36 PMDatasource config originally held stuff like username, password, type, etc in case people wanted to have like super dynamic cfqueryes
bdw429s
03/11/2022, 5:36 PMBut in reality, all I ever see people use it for is just the name of the DSN
bdw429s
03/11/2022, 5:36 PMAnd if it's the same everywhere, it's sort of just a setting for the sake of a setting
bdw429s
03/11/2022, 5:37 PMEspecially if you just name the setting the same as the datasource name!

03/11/2022, 5:37 PMI see that

bdw429s
03/11/2022, 5:37 PMIt would only be truly useful if you have a setting called "primaryDSN" or whatever and you swap it around at runtime and then the real name is abstracted

Copy code
datasource.mySecificDSNName='mySecificDSNName'
