Has anyone seen this and know of a fix? I’m running across a screwy issue with cfdocument in cf2021. It’s sticking space characters between each letter in some parts of the document. It’s only hitting bolded text, whether it’s from being a th or a b or having a font-weight specified. Where it happens, it affects everything on that line, but a line break starts a new block of text which may or may not also have it. If I take lines that have it and lines that don’t, and rearrange them, the spacing stays with the text, not the location. It’s not always obvious with the smaller text, just looks like kerning is off or spacing is weird, (wasted hours trying to fix that before realizing the actual problem) but if I copy and paste it into a fixed font size text editor, it’s immediately clear. A few examples attached.

Looking to play around with breakpoint debugging. I used to do it with older versions on CF Builder, but is something that works today?

Has anyone implemented Passkeys with their CF app? Tempted to dig in, but wanted to see if anyone else has been successful implementing them?

We are using CFStatic but it is becoming less useful for JavaScript as YUI does not, and is unlikely to support ECMA6+. It looks like it would be reasonably straightforward to move to google closure but before I do has anybody already done it (or something similar) trying not to reinvent the wheel and all that?

For anyone dealing with large CSV files in ACF or Lucee the Spreadsheet CFML library now has better support thanks to @bdw429s https://blog.simplicityweb.co.uk/138/reading-large-csv-files-with-cfml

I'm looking at stripe documentation and it shows a curl request

curl <https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/search> \
  -u sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc: \
  --data-urlencode query="name:'fakename' AND metadata['foo']:'bar'" \
  -G

How would i pass the

--data-urlencode query

portion in a cfhttp request? I appreciate any tips, so far i've tried it as a type="url" name="query" but that resulted in an "invalid parameter" from stripe.

ack, i was hitting the wrong endpoint.. forgot the

/search

it worked as a

url

type with

name

of query. just a fyi.

ok good. I was about to be worried 🙂

sometimes i can't see the forest because of the trees 🙂

don't suppose anyone;s got a cfscript

padstart

/

lpad

equivelant function to hand?

nevermind, I got copilot to do it.

the future!

is progressive web Applications are as easy as in coldfusion as they show in youtube videos for .net

More CSV improvements in the latest Spreadsheet CFML release. This time with generating CSV. https://blog.simplicityweb.co.uk/139/writing-csv-with-cfml

@cfsimplicity, Following your recent posts in this Slack I did a search on the web for new Lucee or ColdFusion Spreadsheet implementations. I didn't find any. Statements such as "the Spreadsheet CFML library" and "the latest Spreadsheet CFML release" therefore confuse me now. Do you mean, respectively, "the Cfsimplicity Spreadsheet CFML library" and "the latest Cfsimplicity Spreadsheet CFML release"?

how can i test the cflock functionality for throwontimeout

i would like to connect to a gmail account with coldfusion and pull down emails. I know google has upgraded authentication for email retrieval. i have seen places that mention “allowing less secure apps” in order to make a default mail server connection. Im just looking for the correct way to implement mail retrieval from gmail, and if there is a module or example out there using the oauth 2 method.

Hi! How can I change the severity of a cflint rule from warning to error?

Hey everyone..... Does anyone have any thoughts on why a url called with cfhttp (with headers / body defined) Will return a 403 Forbidden status ( I have made sure that the nginx and tomcat users are in each other's groups. I have made a separate group "www-data" and added both nginx and tomcat users to it. The entire application has tomcat:www-data for owner:group assignment And to rule it out - I even tested after changing the entire application file-tree to "777" permissions. None of these changes affected the result ) But the same url / headers used via curl - works, returning a 200 OK? And, while I am using Lucee, NGINX and Tomcat 9 - I don't know that it is a Lucee specific issue - so I posted here to open it up a little to everyone. (I THINK - the question I am really asking is - is there a difference in behaviour / semantics between cfhttp and curl - because that might lead to a solution? ) As always - Thanks for any thoughts you might have.

Other than doing something like

cfhttp timeout=1

, is there a way to do a fire and forget type call where you don't care whether it was successful or not (and don't want to wait)? I guess you could chuck it in a thread too, but wondered if there's a better way that I'm missing.

ColdFusionCookbook.com is up for domain renewal. I can obviously afford the renewal cost (17 bucks and change), but if folks here have used it and would like to donate a few bucks for the renewal, it would be appreciated. (Donations can be made via https://www.buymeacoffee.com/raymondcamden

Anyone working with the Keen template stuff? We will be for one app, decision has been made higher up. What IDE are you using with it? I've been using IntelliJ IDEA for years, but I see no signs of actual support for Keen. Looks like Visual Studio Code is the de facto standard, but I didn't care much for it over IDEA when I last checked it out. Thoughts?

Not sure this is the right forum to ask but i'll try it as I don't know where else to ask. For those using VSCode to develope CF code in, have any of you recently encountered a problem where your VSC suddenly bogs down doing ? but it changes the SVN extention icon to clock icon overlay meaning it's busy. Cntrl-/ key combo to comment code doesn't work. Renaming files takes a loooong time, etc. VSC won't exit this slow down degradation till I quit and restart the app. I have reduced the extension set down to just the minimal set: CFML, Live Sass Compiler, SVN, Auto Close Tag. My laptop cooling fan runs moderately high during this time so something is going on. Any suggestions/clues would be welcomed. This issue is really impacting my productivity. This is a recent change in behavior, over the past week or two only. Before that, these and many other extensions ran fine. I don't know if it is an extension but based on the Resource Monitor, it is Code.exe that is the only process taking up CPU.

Is anyone aware of where CF/Lucee document the behavior of automatically-searched scopes when SETTING a variable. The lookup order for unscoped vars is pretty well documented when simply accessing a variable, but I can't find anything on how they behave when assigning a value. I always assumed the behaved the same, but I found out today setting an unscoped variable that already exists in a searched scope doesn't always update that existing variable. Code sample in the thread.

CFINPUT BIND to JQUERY? I am working to move an old school Adobe ColdFusion app to Lucee with FW/1. I have a page that has multiple like buttons on it that each bind to a CFC using <cfinput bind=.... I know that's outdated and not recommended. Also, it doesn't work in Lucee. I believe the best way to do this is using jQuery (which I haven't learned yet). How would I replace this with jQuery? cfinput( name = "Toggle_Like_#ARGUMENTS.Like_Type_ID#_#ARGUMENTS.Like_Foreign_Key_ID#", id = "Toggle_Like_#ARGUMENTS.Like_Type_ID#_#ARGUMENTS.Like_Foreign_Key_ID#", type = "checkbox", checked = "#Int(Val(qrs_Like_Details.User_Likes_This))#", bind = "cfc:model.services.userinterface.fn_Toggle_Like( #function_Account_ID#, #ARGUMENTS.Like_Type_ID#, #ARGUMENTS.Like_Foreign_Key_ID#, {Toggle_Like_#ARGUMENTS.Like_Type_ID#_#ARGUMENTS.Like_Foreign_Key_ID#@click} )", bindonload = "true" );

Questions for folks who work a lot with front end js that calls back end methods to get and save data: • How do you document your APIs, to coordinate between front- and back-end devs? • How do front-end devs work on their rendering before the back end is ready to call? ◦ For instance, do back end devs create stubs that return hard coded mock data first, before writing real code? • How do back-end devs test before the front end exists to call it and display results? ◦ I assume the answer here is usually writing tests for TestBox, yes? In the past, at other companies, we built a bunch of in-house infrastructure around this stuff. My current company is moving towards this style of development, so we're thinking about these sorts of tooling. Any thoughts on specific tools and best practices would be much appreciated.

Putting this out to the world since I ran into this issue today. I am currently working on integrating with the RingCentral API and I kept getting errors when I was trying to authenticate. I ran my tests in Postman, thru Curl, and I even tested with Fetch using my browser’s console and they all worked but ACF would keep erroring out. I then decided to test with Lucee and low and behold it worked. I then decided to compare documentation and it appears the issue was with ACF encoding the formField type by default, which Lucee does not do, they only use the encoded setting for CGI and url types while Adobe uses it for FormField and CGI types, url types are always encoded. The fix, set encoded to

false

for the 2

formField

values … not too many hairs ripped out today but thank you @bdw429s for CommandBox allowing me to run a quick test 🙂
