cfc

A compiler for Coldfusion, designed primarily for editor tooling support.

The VsCode plugin based on this tool is "cflsp", downloadable from within VsCode or on the extensions marketplace

current goals

• Support ColdFusion 2018+ and Lucee5+
• Recognize syntactic and some semantic errors and emit reasonable diagnostics for them.
• Parse incrementally to keep response times reasonable
• Offer autocomplete and navigate-to-symbol where possible

building

• git clone https://github.com/softwareCobbler/cfc.git && cd cfc
• npm run install-all
• npm run build-cflsp

Then, from within vscode, there is a debug configuration called "Client + Server" which launches the VSCode extension host with the built plugin running, as well as a debug connection to the server. The actual language server glue code is about 99% pulled from Microsoft's vs-code-extension-samples/lsp-sample, but the parser is all handrolled recursive descent.

tests

to run the current tests (just a quick smoke test, hopefully helps check for regressions during development), install the git submodules:

• git submodule init
• git submodule update

Now the directory test/mxunit should be populated, and the test can run:

• npm run test-all
