CFANT - Undocumented ColdFusion tag
posted Thursday, 24 May 2007
A while back my colleague James mentioned a hidden cfant tag for running ant build files. I finally got around to playing with it. It's still not clear what all the arguments are for despite their seemingly obvious names. The usual disclaimer about using undocumented tags/features applies!
| <cfant buildFile="completePathToBuildFile" defaultDirectory="seemsTobeIgnoredButMustBePresent" anthome="alsoSeemsToBeIgnoredButMayNeedToHaveAnEnvironmentVariableSetup" messages="coldFusionVariableToHoldOutPutMessages" target="defaultTarget" /> |

Yeah... I second that Douglas! I spent a lot of time working on a build
manager for CF and Ant using subversion to check out builds. This tag sure
would have made things easier on me!!

This is very cool. I wonder if it will become an "official" tag in
Scorpio?

Has anyone tried this on CF8?
