Manually compile cfc/cfm files to check for errors

[Jonathan Brookins]

We've recently converted some of our legacy CF code ( probably around 10 years old or older in places ) to Railo, but I wish there was a way I could run a manual compile in order to find syntax errors that might have been introduced.  I read an old Railo group thread about it, but trying this

GetPageContext().compile(page)

 on a test page that has an error doesn't seem to fail.  I think Micha referred to a cfdeploy that might help, but I cannot find any documentation on it.

Any ideas?

Yep! Totally! 

Go to the Lucee admin and create a mapping to the root of your application 

something like 

Virtual = /

Resource =  ~/Sites/myapp/

Save it, click on the editor (pencil) icon next to the mapping entry and you can see a page where you can now untick the "Stop on error” and press the “Compile|” button. This will now give you a list of errors in compilation with your code. 

This is how I checked applications for general compatibility when I worked at Railo

Has anyone managed to get that plumbed into Jenkins or similar? Would
be nice to get that step into a CI process somehow...

I did a ANT task runner for railo CLI a long while back and was able to run railo as an ant task so you could just point it to a script that runs the <cfadmin> tag.

You're just saying that to wind me up, now, aren't you ;-)

Yep, we've got an ant macrodef for compiling Lucee archives (fails with any errors).  The whole process is scripted so you son't need a running server first.  There will be a lucee-cli, installable via apt-get or yum sometime next week too, so best of both worlds. :)
