When I build or debug ColdFusion Builder Extensions I typically do the following:
- Alter the extension code to write IDE post contents to file
- Call extension in IDE
- Alter the extension code to read IDE post contents from file
- Debug through the browser
I found my self frustrated with this workflow. Instead, what if I created an extension that could capture the IDE content and write it to the disk for me?
That's what I did.
I still have to adjust my extensions to read in the file, but I can make that conditional:
<cfif fileExists(ExpandPath("./sample.xml"))>
<cffile action="read" file="#ExpandPath("./sample.xml")#" variable="form.ideeventInfo" />
</cfif>
So now much less work for me, and if you're interested, much less work for you. The extension is now up on RIAForge.com: ColdFusion Builder Extension Test Creator.
