Re: CF Builder 3 frustrates!!!

I have never been a fan of the sync in CFB, I have always used Scooters Beyond Compare. ... +1 for Beyond Compare, it's awesome. On an unrelated note, is there something I'm missing during the CF Builder 3 setup process to import settings and projects and such from Builder 2? I have

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

So to summarise then, ColdFusion Builder 3 is a great IDE, except that the following important features dont work for me, and no one has been able to show me that they can work for me ... [A] FTP doesnt work, and no one has yet offered me any way to make it work. [B] Code insight apparently

Mike, With the question below, I am guessing as it is still in development there are some parts of the rewrite that is still coming. But for now the option you are seeking is the run as. If you RMB on a file or project you can select run as ColdFusion Application. This has always been very

Re: CF Builder 3 frustrates!!!

That is actually a good question. In Eclipse the way you do this is go to import, which will open up the type of import. You then go to install and select from previous installation. I have done this with CFB2 when it was running as a plugin to an Eclipse Installation, but I just tried to do this

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Sort off, I used to do it so that when I add a server to CFB I would use the one connection to one ColdFusion Instance. Then would use that for every project, but I found an issue where the run as in the editor wouldn't work.. Long story short, the server settings in CFB are really a joke and I

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Why does FTP not work? You don't actually say why it doesn't work. Code insight does work, see where I said you may need to add those mappings to the project. Yes you can, the view in browser was and still might be a button that is a short cut to the run as ColdFusion Application, And just

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Mike, Code insight does work on CFC that have been invoked using ColdSpring, you just need to tell CFB where to find the CFC. Just follow these steps: 1. In the project properties, click on the CFC Mappings link. 2. Click on the New button in the CFC Variable Mapping section. 3. Enter usersDAO

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Ok that's good news, Dean. I see code insight as a big benefit of ColdFusion Builder, but so many things are going wrong these days I was getting to assume that this was just not going to work for me. (Sometimes I think there's a malicious supreme being looking over me saying nah ah. you

Yes, that is correct. Just as you are telling ColdSpring where the CFC is, you also have to tell CFB. On Thu, May 1, 2014 at 11:28 AM, Mike K afpwebwo...@gmail.com wrote: Ok that's good news, Dean. I see code insight as a big benefit of ColdFusion Builder, but so many things are going

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Thank you for persevering with me, Andrew. I'm glad it's not just me being dense. This is still very confusing. I suppose once I've set up a couple of projects it might be understandable. I'd hope so - i have 39 to set up!! Dean, thanks for the reassurance that code insight actually does

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Actually I did mention the J2EE aspects, the context if if your using an instance under a context. I don't use the run as / view so I am guessing, but you did RMB on the project and select the server to use for this project? Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+:

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Andrew, thanks . I'm not trying to be stupid here, but I am not 'getting it' yet. the context if if your using an instance under a context. What does that mean? How to i know if i'm using a context?I just installed ColdFusion using the defaults that come with the jrun install.

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Mike, Context only applies if you install ColdFusion as a J2EE server instance, and you have a context to access that instance. If you only have a standalone / Multi (pre CF 10) then you will not need to worry about it, which I said earlier. Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite:

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Thanks Scott but i DO have a J2EE server. That was how we all set up coldfusion from MX because that's how shared hosting was set up. So anyone using shared hosting set dev servers up the same. So I hate to be keeping on about it but I dont understand what a context is. Do i have one? Why do

So I hate to be keeping on about it but I dont understand what a context is. Do i have one? Why do i want one? A context root is a URL pattern to which all URLs identified as possibly to be processed by CF will conform. In the vast majority of cases, it's simply a single slash: / which

Thanks Dave. That clears that up.Now I understand what 'context' means, I realise I set it up as you suggested.I didn't understand what context means because it's something i've never used, apart from setting up / as the context root as one of the many settings when I installed

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

So far this has cost me about 8 hours of billable time to setup, and its only required because Adobe decided to take ColdFusion out of Dreamweaver, the tool I've been using for years and years. It's proving a BLOODY EXPENSIVE tool. A little bit of progress at last. I have to say this

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Feel your pain Mike, but perseverance can fix that at times. The root, is what I stated earlier, when I said I usually just set it to the root for ColdFusion and that is the wwwroot in ColdFusion itself and not inetpub or your projects. Yes I agree this area is not well documented nor blogged,

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

I've had enough of this damned ColdFusion Builder 3 for now. It's just too bloody frustrating. Maybe I might come back to it, maybe not. The FTP/Synchronise thing is just barely something you would expect a beginner programmer to produce.Trying to make it work is groping in the dark

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Mikenot that this helps you in anyway, but all your issues is why I use code editors for writing code - period I use an FTP client for moving files and I use SVN for knowing what to upload I use a browser for testing - never the browser in a code editor way I've always developed that way

Thanks Brian, I think you might be right. After all the 'mine's bigger than yours' and 'you should be using a REAL IDE' pi$$ing contests over the years between Eclipse users and Dreamweaver users, I figured since Adobe are ashamed of ColdFusion and dont want Dreamweaver users to be able to

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Mike, First let me be very clear, ColdFusion Builder doesn't come with any FTP support. This is an eclipse plugin that needs to be added to the installation. Here is a snippet from SO that explains this. But again, you would do yourself a huge favor if your used something like Scooters Beyond

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Now come on the day Adobe has things like testing an integration testing will be the day I die... I mean how can a company be told that there is a serious backwards compatibility issue over 9 months ago, to ignore that and never fix it. Yet ColdFusion 11 is now out in the wild and anything using

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Thanks Andrew. I bow to your experience and wisdom. I was just going on the words of Adobe where they have videos telling about the synchronisation and the ftp settings etc in the app.There's my stupidity. I should know better than to believe anything those buggers say. They have fallen

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration

Are they older videos though? Remember that a lot of functionality was rewriting, because it was part of the Aptana application that CFB was built on. Since Adobe removed this, things like FTP have gone out the window. Look to be honest, removing Aptana is the best thing Adobe could have done.
