We have now released version 1.6 of the ColdBox Platform Utilities extension for ColdFusion Builder.  This 1.6 updates almost all of the assets and internal templates for some nice refactoring.  You can use the auto update features if you like, however, we recommend for this release to do a manual override, as there are several things that need to removed also.  The upcoming releases will be more stable in terms of auto-updating.  Or if you are adventurous, just click on the Auto Update features and voila done!


Version 1.6 Updates
  • Lots syntax updates and refactoring
  • Addition of css/js and jquery assets
  • Install from ForgeBox by slug entry.  You can now very easily install ANY entry from ForgeBox by just using its unique slug
  • Lots of updates for setting up interceptors with or without programmatic configurations

When trying to auto-update, I get the following error (looks like an "access denied):

Exception encountered while extracting templates/ses/.htaccess from zip file D:\Data\CFBuilderExtensions\ColdBox Platform Utilities\/ColdboxPlatformUtilities.zip.

The error occurred in D:\Data\CFBuilderExtensions\ColdBox Platform Utilities\handlers\util\ForgeBox.cfc: line 155

Are the right permissions set for this? Meaning can the CF engine have write capabilities in that folder?

Inherited a CFML Application With Few Tests? Here’s Where to Start!

Inherited a CFML Application With Few Tests? Here’s Where to Start!

You need to change an application that has been running for years.

It might be a ColdFusion customer portal, a Lucee application supporting internal operations, or a CFML system your team is preparing to modernize. People depend on it, but some of its behavior lives in old tickets, scattered documentation, and the memory of whoever has supported it longest.

Now a release is approaching. You know more testing would help. The difficult part is deciding where to begin without putting every other priority on hold.

Start with one important workflow and build evidence around what it needs to do.
