What's New in 3.1.1
Multi-Server
Now CommandBox will not only start up Lucee 4 servers with a single command, but you can start up Adobe ColdFusion, Railo, and even Luce 5 servers all at the same time. Now it's easier than ever to test your code across multiple platforms. CommandBox's embedded server makes for a fast and easy development machine too regardless of what CF engine you need.
1
# Start the latest stable Railo engine
2
CommandBox> start cfengine=railo
3
​
4
# Start a specific engine and version
5
CommandBox> start cfengine=[email protected]
6
​
7
# Start any Java WAR
8
CommandBox> start WARPath=/var/www/myApp.war

ForgeBox 2.0 API
We'v released a brand new ForgeBox.io site with a new UI, fresh features, and a shiny new API. CommandBox 3.1.1 is now powered by the new ForgeBox site and API which includes features like having more than one version for a package.
Semantic Versioning support
When you install packages from ForgeBox, you can use fancy semver ranges to specify the versions of a package you're willing to install. CommandBox will automatically grab the latest version that satisfies your version range. This also applies to the "update" command which makes keeping your projects' dependencies up-to-date even easier.
1
# A specific version
2
CommandBox> install [email protected]
3
​
4
# Any version with a major number of 4 (4.1, 4.2, 4.9, etc)
5
CommandBox> install [email protected]
6
​
7
# Any version greater than 1.5.0
8
CommandBox> install [email protected]>1.5.0
9
​
10
# Any version greater than 5.2 but less than or equal to 6.3.4
11
CommandBox> install "[email protected]>5.2 <=6.3.4"

Create user from CLI
Another feature of the new ForgeBox site is the ability to create a new ForgeBox user right from the CLI. After creation, you'll be logged in with your ForgeBox API Key which let's you update your packages.

CommandBox> forgebox register

Publish packages from the CLI
You no longer need to visit the ForgeBox web site to publish new or updated packages to ForgeBox. This is all available from the CLI once you've logged in. This means you can even automate the process of publishing to cut down on the number of manual steps it takes you to update your projects and share those changes with the community.
1
CommandBox> forgebox publish
Copied!
Interceptor-based CLI scripts
You can now run commands of your choosing automatically when certain events in the CLI happen (like publishing a package, or starting a server). You can also create ad-hoc collections of commands to run whenever you want to help automate things like building your projects or publishing to ForgeBox.
1
{
2
"name" : "My Package",
3
"slug" : "my-package",
4
"version" : "1.0.0",
5
"scripts" : {
6
"postVersion" : "package set location='gitUser/gitRepo#`package version`'"
7
"postPublish" : "!git push"
8
}
9
}
