Misc Settings
These are some one-off settings that doen't really belong anywhere else.
nativeShell
string
This setting affects how CommandBox invokes the shell for the
run command or when using the !binary shortcut. The default *nix shell used for the run command is /bin/sh but you can override it to use a custom shell. Set the full path to the shell binary.1
config set nativeShell=/bin/zsh
2
config show nativeShell

tagVersion
boolean
Running the
bump command from a Git repo will attempt to tag the repo unless you provide the tagVersion parameter. This setting provides a global default to prevent CommandBox from trying to tag Git repos.1
config set tagVersion=false
2
config show tagVersion
Copied!
tagPrefix
string
Running the
bump command from a Git repo will tag the repo using the format v{version} such as v1.0.0 or v4.3.6. You can remove the v or swap it for another prefix using the tagPrefix parameter. Remember, another string like foo1.2.3 will not be parseable by CommandBox as a valid semver. This setting can be overriden by the tagPrefix parameter to the bump command.1
config set tagPrefix=''
2
config show tagPrefix
Copied!
artifactsDirectory
string
You can control where your artifact cache is stored with the
artifactsDirectory config setting. This can be useful to keep your primary drive from filling up, or to point your files to a shared network drive that your coworkers can share.1
config set artifactsDirectory=/path/to/artifacts
2
config show artifactsDirectory

colorInDumbTerminal
boolean
You can enable this setting if you want to force CommandBox to output ANSI formatting code even though you're running box inside of a non-interactive terminal. This is handy for CI builds such as Gitlab, which will process color coded text in your job logs. Default value is
false.1
config set colorInDumbTerminal=true
2
config show colorInDumbTerminal

preferredBrowser
string

tabCompleteInline
boolean

2
config show tabCompleteInline

developerMode
The
developerMode setting reloads shell before each command to help testing changes to CommandBox core or modules.1

It will prevent you from needing to use the
reload command, but it will cause a delay before each command. Don't forget to turn this back off when you're done.terminalWidth

1
config set terminalWidth=150
