How to setup fusebox 5 framework with Coldfusion?

Question

I've got the fusebox framework files from https://github.com/fusebox-framework/Fusebox-ColdFusion. And I'm trying to make a fusebox framework setup with a simple coldfusion app in cf 2018. I followed the youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnBpKegsO3Q) to learn.

But Now I'm getting error like Could not find the ColdFusion component or interface fusebox5.Application.

In the downloaded folder I'm not having the fusebox5 folder. I'm not sure how to do this. If you have any documentation link please provide to me. I'm a new guy to the coldfusion technology. So, Please guide me to the right way to make the fusebox & CF setup.

Thanks friends!

Answer 1

Finally, I've got the solution for the fusebox5 setup with cf 2018. Should change the function name from getCanonicalPath to getFBCanonicalPathin the fusebox core files.

Following core files are need to be changed:

1. corefiles/PathUtil.cfc
2. corefiles/fuseboxPlugin.cfc
3. corefiles/fuseboxCircuit.cfc
4. corefiles/fuseboxApplication.cfc

After modified these files I can successfully run the code with fusebox5 framework.

I've got this idea from https://www.sidwing.com/2019/01/22/working-with-old-frameworks-fusebox-4-5/

This post is very helpful to me. It will help someone to make a setup.

Thank you so much, friends!
