We are so incredibly excited to bring about an official release of this github action that our very own Eric Peterson has started. This has been a collective effort with the mighty Michael Born, Github Actions Guru, to bring you speed, optimizations and documentation to getting CommandBox CLI installed in Github actions easily and speedily.

With this action you will be able to easily setup CommandBox, seed it with modules, or even store your FORGEBOX API Token. Go build something cool!

Release Notes

Added

  • Ability to install any package when installed via the install input
  • Ability to install ANY CommandBox version by leveraging the version input
  • Ability to disable/enable the installation of our global dependencies via the installSystemModules input
  • Ability to run a box version upon installation via the warmup input

Changed

  • installSystemModules is now false by default. If you want cfconfig and dotenv, you must explicitly set this input to true
  • Only set the FORGEBOX tokens when passed as an input
  • Migrated installation from apt to binary installs

CommandBox: A Smarter Foundation for BoxLang and CFML Workflows

CommandBox: A Smarter Foundation for BoxLang and CFML Workflows

In day-to-day development, some tools simply do their job… and others quietly change the way you work. CommandBox falls into the second category.

It doesn’t replace your editor, framework, or existing applications. Instead, it becomes the common ground where CFML and BoxLang development meet ,giving teams a consistent, reliable way to build, run, and evolve their projects.
