  Posted on May 23, 2020 at 6:17 AM

  Ben, can you include the top 10-20 lines of the java stacktrace with such posts? The exception message is good for finding the source of the exception, but being able to see the code path to the exception is really useful... read more »

• Built-In Functions And Member-Methods Return Different Data Types In Lucee CFML 5.3.5.92

  Posted on Apr 16, 2020 at 7:48 AM

  but you'll need to compile and run your own version of lucee to test / see those values.... it's fine to edit those files without compiling, the automatic CI process after you file a pull request will do a build Docs reads them from directly from the version of Lucee you're running. using ... read more »

• Zipping Image Archives With DEFLATE And STORE Compression Methods In Lucee CFML 5.2.9.31

  Posted on Apr 4, 2020 at 9:36 AM

  You can also create tar archives using Lucee's compress() function, but the bundled version of apache commons compress, 1.9 from 2016 is a bit old and misses out on some of the improvements in the last 4 years. https://docs.lucee.org/reference/functions/compress.html https://github.co... read more »

  I found a bug in Lucee after playing with your example, I would like to be able to label anonymous functions like in javascript, coz that [lambda_6i] is a bit confusing. I tried defining a name for the component, but Lucee barfs, ACF is fine function ( a, b ) name="comparator", thr... read more »

• Error Variable Randomly Exists After Running CFExecute In Lucee CFML 5.3.3.62

  Posted on Dec 19, 2019 at 6:22 AM

  interesting (and annoying!) looking at the source, it seems to be storing that value in the pageContext for some reason? it then gets pulled out and then reset to "" in setErrorvariable https://github.com/lucee/Lucee/blob/5.3/core/src/main/java/lucee/runtime/tag/Execute.java#L1... read more »

• The CFQuery Tag Supports Silent Asynchronous Query Execution In Lucee 5.3.2.77

  Posted on Jul 14, 2019 at 12:10 PM

  IMHO errors should always be logged, no excuses! Lucee being open source, I had a quick look at the commit for that feature and there was some changes to the error handling, so it definitely was a consideration. The general rule from the Lucee devs is file bugs, or they don't exist. That s... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 9: IsNull() And Working With NULL Values

  Posted on Jul 19, 2009 at 4:10 AM

  Ben, in oracle land a null gets treated like empty string. It's different between databases. Maps quite nicely to CFML. Not having nulls actually reduces the amount of code you have to write. Over on the FDO project something similiar came up and there was a lot of extra null checking handling cod... read more »
