ColdFusion Builder 3

I was editing a JS file wanted to write a try catch. I started writing the catch part first. Then the try part. But, added the parentheses. I don't know what I was thinking. But, it locked up ColdFusion Builder 3 to the point that I had to restart my VM of Windows 2008 R2 64-bit.
try () { } catch ( e ) { }

Please add galileo update site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo and then install mylyn.
Thanks

The internal html viewer is not working in coldfusion builder 2.

It is so frustrating how hard this is. I finished setting up coldfusion and coldfusion builder 2 with an apache local webserver and was hoping to make use of the internal html viewer but it won't come on! All I see is a blank grey page with no content. After creeping around the forums for a while it seemed that the simplest solution was to use the internal coldfusion server so I uninstalled everything and did just that, reverting my administrator page to http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm (working and launchable from the IDE), placing my webroot at C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot and with all the folders in their right place. The server is running ok and when I launch the run as "coldfusion administrator" option to run my index file, it succesfully opens the external browser and displays the page.
I have the same setup on my desktop at home, the same files, installation, everything! and it works but not on my laptop. I followed Ben Forta's instructions to a T and yet I still am not getting the html preview. I even tried to hard code the absolute url in the html preview settings and still nothing but that annoying grey.
Is this a bug? There doesn't seem to be anything about it in the bug reports. It is quite infuriating how something that seems so miniscule could be such an annoyance. I have already gotten quite used to the preview pages and coldfusion and I would prefer to code that way rather than making use of dreamweaver which I feel I am being forced to use, but at least it's consistent.
Please if anyone could provide some answers and help I would really appreciate it! I have only so much hair left!
Thanks!

Perhaps others may recognize and resolve this for you. I and others here often can and do offer quick solutions to many problems. And I can appreciate that it’s reasonable to think that something so simple should just work. But in this case I think are simply too many variables that could explain why things are not working for you. And while I can also appreciate that you will prefer to get a solution for free if anyone can offer it, I just can’t even begin to offer all the possible problems and solutions, at least by email, in this case. Again, maybe someone else will make a quick connection.
But I will point out that if you’re willing to pay US$75, I offer a service of remotely troubleshooting any one CFBuilder problem for that fixed price. Hopefully I might help you solve it quickly (when I can see exactly what’s going on in your environment), but you will not pay if I don’t solve the problem in up to 2 hours effort. If you may be interested, see www.carehart.org/consulting/ for more, and if you want to set up a time to get together (over the web), drop me an email at [email protected]
Finally, please note that I don’t often point out this service here on the forums. I generally just offer suggestions (sometimes lengthy ones) without any commercial expectation, so please don’t regard this as me engaging in “abusive unsolicited commercial email”. I’m just offering a possible solution, given the OPs sincere challenge in solving things.

How does one get ColdFusion Builder.

I understand that if one buys ColdFusion builder, one gets Flash Builder Standard included. If one buys Flash Builder Premium one gets a license for ColdFusion Builder included.
Well, I am currently installing Creative Suite 5 Web Premium, which includes Adobe Flash Builder (level unknown) as well as Dreamweaver, fireworks, flash pro, photoshop, ect. But not ColdFusion Builder. Seems to be an odd item to be left out of that list?

The way I understand it, CF Builder comes with Flash Builder Premium and CS5 premium includes Flash Builder Standard, which does not come with CF Builder.
A while ago, my sister bought me Flex Builder 3 as a gift. It did not come with data visualization (charts), which I wanted. So I called Adobe, explained the issue, and they let me get the charts and pay the difference.
So it might be worth your while to make a phone call to Adobe sales and ask if you can pay the difference between FB Standard and FB Premium, so you can get CF Builder.
You never know until you try. Good luck,
Carlos

Adobe ColdFusion Builder Bugbase: Vote for Some of these Bugs to be Fixed

As I'm sure you know CF Builder 3 isn't quite perfect yet and the Adobe Bugbase has a not-so-great search interface so I thought I would share some issues I reported recently which have impacted my workflow with the product. Perhaps some of my fellow developers have also run into these annoyances. If you have, or if you feel like supporting these issues to get Adobe's developers to fix them, I encourage you to also leave a note on each bug to increase the likelihood that they get fixed in the next release. Feel free to also post links to bugs/feature requests you've submitted and perhaps the community will also support your bug reports as well.
Below please find the name and link to each bug/feature request. To vote for the bug please click the "my vote" button at the bottom right corner of the page.

How do I add/update/delete data using ColdFusion Builder 3?

I feel like this is a really simple and stupid question and should be easy to figure out, but I can't.
I am relearning ColdFusion after 12 years out of the IT field. I am using the ColdFusion 9 Getting Started:Volume 1 book. In Chapter 7 it states that I need to edit the Application.cfc file so that I can edit the database rather than just selecting from the database. I can't seem to find anything related to that file in any search. In my ColdFusion 11 Administrator I have set this mySQL database to be able to be edited, but ColdFusion Builder 3 doesn't seem to allow any editing of the tables. I have not had much luck searching for help regarding this on the internet either. My biggest problem so far is getting ColdFusion Builder to talk with my mySQL database properly so I can actually get on with relearning ColdFusion and writing code. Frustrating!!

I do have ColdFusion 11 Administrator installed. When I go to Data and Services there and open the datasource (OWS) that I want to connect to and query off of, and go to Advanced Settings, I show that the following are selected:
SELECT
CREATE
GRANT
INSERT
DROP
REVOKE
UPDATE
ALTER
Stored Procedures
DELETE
If, in ColdFusion Builder 3, I open the RDS Query viewer and write the following basic update query (Server: default:local; Datasource: OWS):
insert into directors(FirstName, LastName)
Values ('Benjamin', 'Forta');
I get the following RDS error message:
java.sql.SQLException: Can not issue data manipulation statements with executeQuery().
According to the book and some information I have seen online, the SQL Query Tool, for security's sake, by default allows execution of SELECT statements, but no other SQL statements. According to the book, to change this behavior I need to edit the Application.cfc file in the ows/sql directory. I have to change the THIS.select_only flag from the default of yes to no and save the file. I cannot find this file anywhere. I have seen an application.cfm, but I think this is different that what they want because I can't find anything in that file that says THIS.select.

ColdFusion Builder 3 Settings Reset on Restart

I've downloaded the ColdFusion Builder 3 trial and am experiencing some odd and very annoying behavior.
I've customized some code editor text font and color settings. I've added an entry to the CF Servers panel for an instance of ColdFusion 10 running inside a VMWare virtual server on my laptop.
When I restart Eclipse, all the code customizations I've made are reverted back to the default install settings and the entry in my CF Servers panel is gone.
I've been an IntelliJ user for well over a year, but in doing much more cfscript-based development the CF Plugin for IntelliJ is proving to be a hindrance so I thought I'd give CFB 3 a try and see if there were any improvements over CFB 2. However, I can't take this kind of behavior. Hopefully someone can give me a setting or someone else has seen this before and can give me an idea of where to start looking.
I have CF Builder installed as a plugin into Eclipse Kepler 64-bit for Mac. I added the CF Builder update site and have updated to CF Builder 3.0.0.290000. I also previously installed as the standalone version with no additional plugins and experienced the same behavior.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Milan...
My apologies for taking so long to get back to this. I just did some testing tonight of your instructions as well as those by Kaif above.
Firstly, I installed ColdFusion 10 locally on my Mac. I added the local server to the CF Servers panel successfully. After restarting Eclipse, the localhost entry remained in the CF Server panel.
Secondly, I followed your instructions to make a new profile and make my font/coloring customizations in it. I restarted Eclipse and my font and color selections were maintained (through 3 restarts). I noted that my newly created profile was selected in Preferences after each restart.
I then added a remote CF 10 server to the CF Servers panel successfully (as noted by the panel telling me that the server was running and being able to launch the CF Admin from within Eclipse). At this point there were 2 entries in my CF Server panel--localhost and the one remote server that lives inside my VM. I restarted Eclipse and when it came back up, only the localhost server remained. I might add that the VM has ColdFusion 10 installed in "multi-instance" mode and that the remote server instance that I added to the CF Servers panel was one of 4 CF instances configured and running inside the VM.
All the while, my font and color customizations have remained the way I set them.
So, it appears as though we're down to just one bug relating to remote server registrations in the CF Servers panel.
I saw that another user was reporting something similar in this thread: ColdFusion Builder 3 RDS and Remove Server settings reset on each restart so apparently it's not just me.
Thanks to you and everyone else for all the ideas and troubleshooting help thus far. At least at this point I think I might be able to use this for day-to-day coding, even though I really want the remote server system to work correctly so I can use the step debugger feature again.

How to make my first website in Coldfusion Builder

Hi everyone,
Here is my problem that I really need help with.
Context:
I just moved from Dreamveawer to Coldfusion Builder. I want to:
-> Set up my first server
-> Creating an SQL DB on the server
-> Create an index page and display query results
When I started CF builder, i watched the videos on 'Getting Started ' screen. But my things didn't go as smooth as that of the guy in the video. After setting up the server I sometimes cannot start the server and sometimes the server starts but I can't access the CF Admin page (I couldn't access the admin page even once).
Question(s):
Does CF Builder installer also include Coldfusion setup or I have to install Coldfusion prior to installing the CF Builder?
Is there any way of getting details about all the fields that I fill in during installation of Coldfusion/CF Builder, so I know what I am filling instead of just blindly following that dumb guy in the video
Other Info:
I am using Win7 64bit
Installed Coldfusion9
Installed CF Builder2 (standalone)
P.S.
I already watched these videos but they didn't work for me:
-> http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adc-presents/getting-started-with-coldfusion-builder-2/
-> The video on CF Builder2 start screen

Thanks for clarifying. Terry is a good guy. Glad you didn't mean him
It is likely that when you installed ColdFusion you selected the "Server Configuration" (because you would know it if you did not). The other two options are quite complicated. You can verify this just by answering this question. Do you access ColdFusion via port 8500. If so, then you are using the Server Configuration.
This means that your webroot is probably located at c:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot
If you installed ColdFusion to a different location (like D:\) then you should be able to just make that change above.
Change your workspace in CFBuilder (FILE >> Switch Workspace) to point to that wwwroot directory, then recreate your project and try it again.
There are other ways of handling most of this. But this is probably the easiest.
And trust me, when it comes to teaching, it's hard to please everyone. ColdFusion Builders target audience is likely experienced CF developers. Of course n00bs can use it too, but I am sure when they created those videos there interest was in getting existng CF developers on board. I teach a server-side programming course at the college level and it can be very hard teaching the IDE and the Server software at the same time. And I can see people struggling with figuring out the differences in terminology and technology.
Where does the IDE stop and the server begin?
I got an error, is the problem in CF or CFB?
CFB says I have an error, but my code still runs, I don't understand.
It's a tough line to cross. I am sure Adobe would be interested in hearing your feedback on how to make the training videos better, or on what types of new videos should be created. But try not to be too hard on them for not havign exactly what you need.

ColdFusion Builder Update 1 issue on Mac

If you are running ColdFusion Builder Plugin inside Flash Builder 4 on Mac, and you check for updates and install CFB Update 1, make sure you close FB4 before installing the update. If not, it will blow up your CFB plugin in FB4 and you'll have to reinstall CFB.
Instead of using the check for CFB updates inside FB4/Eclipse,I had to:
1) close FB4.
2) Run Adobe Updater outside FB4
3) Download CFBuilder Update 1 and install it.
4) Then re-open FB4 again

If you are running Panther, you already have that firmware update. No iMac PowerPC can run 10.2 or later without the most current firmware on their system.

ColdFusion Builder plugin console

I just don't understand what I am doing wrong here. I updated ColdFusion builder as a plugin installed in 3.5.1. I also have Flex 3 /subclipse and a few other plugins installed. When I restart my localhost or want to view orm sql logged to the console, nothing appears. After a restart I get this.
[localhost]:(12/18 at 09:54:11) Server is available. Getting server settings from Server
[localhost]:Error(12/18 at 09:54:12) Unable to fetch server mappings.
[localhost]:Error(12/18 at 09:54:12) Unable to get the log directory.
On my laptop (at home and work) I have Builder running as standalone and this works fine on both of them. What can I do to fix this? I really like logging info to the console.

Can you try to remove the server settings and put them in again. (This worked for me once, but it was in beta 2. Now running Beta 3 so I cannot imitate your scenario to validate it as a fellow user. )

How do I uninstall Coldfusion Builder 3?

I'm on a Mac OSX 10.10.2 and I have CFBuilder3 Build: 292922
When I click on the Uninstall application under the Coldfusion Builder 3 directory it does nothing. I can't even get a process to spawn in my Activity Monitor....
Anyone know how to get rid of this thing?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Richard,
You will rarely see responses here from actual Adobe ColdFusion team members. Most of us are just fellow ColdFusion enthusiasts and community members, sharing our knowledge and experience where possible. If you have a specific issue with CF Builder, and want Adobe's assistance, please reach out to their tech support or file a bug report. If you've found an actual bug with CF Builder, but haven't filed a bug report (or checked to see if one has already been filed and then added your vote), the ColdFusion team will never know.

ColdFusion Builder 3 Mac Eclipse Plugin

I have been trying numerous ways to install CFBuilder 3 Trial into Eclipse 4.2.2 on Mac (Yosemite) and just cannot get CFBuilder to load the CF Perspective. I have tried in various Eclipse versions, and in multiple orders including just installing CFBuilder Trial Edition without in a clean 4.2.2 Eclipse from clean CF install (plugin only, but tried also installing full CFBuilder app both before and after plugin installation, rebooting between each install) and new workspace.
My ultimate goal is to also install Flash Builder 4.7 into the same Eclipse app, but am starting with CFBuilder since Flash Builder installs successfully. Note that this question is ONLY for the ColdFusion Builder 3 installation alone without Flash Builder installed on the machine.
Bottom line: I just cannot get CFBuilder 3 to load into Eclipse 4.2.2 and show the CF Perspective even though it appears to be a successful plugin install; I am starting Eclipse either from both the plugin directory's shortcut and from the eclipse app itself - neither work.
Does anyone have a clue whether this can be done on a Mac?

Coldfusion Builder 3 Global Search

I downloaded and installed Coldfusion Builder 2 and liked it. I decided to purchase it and found that Coldfusion Builder 3 had been released. I purchased Coldfusion Builder 3 after my trial had expired. I then uninstalled 2 and installed 3. I attempted to register my product but nothing shows that it was successful or unsuccessful and my license key does not show up under Previous Serial number in Help->License Adobe Coldfusion Builder.
I am unable to do a global search of my project and the syntax highlighting no longer works in the cfquery tags as well as the built in server does not start. It is almost like the application thinks I am still using an unlicensed version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times as well as rebuilt my workspaces from scratch and yet none of this has fixed the issues. I am on a Windows 7 enterprise 64 bit machine.
Let me know if you need any further information.

ColdFusion Builder 3 Express - Debug support

Hi,
I have coldfusion 10 and wanted to know if I get ColdFusion Builder 3 trial version. After 60 days, it will get converted to express edition, I wanted to know if debugging will work with express edition.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dharmendra

I believe it is a feature that is disabled entirely in the express edition. I can't confirm that though, as I have a full license to ColdFusion Builder.
