The problem
I'm working on a Lift application for work, managed with sbt 0.11.2. I started working on some javascript files that get served by jetty, and found that they are locked once I run container:start. This is highly annoying because the lock doesn't go away until I completely exit sbt, but I want to be able to edit my files while I see them in the browser.
What I've tried
I googled around for a bit and found some old links like http://www.assembla.com/spaces/liftweb/wiki/Fix_file_locking_problem_with_jettyrun but I couldn't get the solution to work for the 'new' Jetty/SBT (where it's container:run instead of jetty-run). Even more annoying is that the more specific I make my search terms, the less helpful the results become.
Our sbt configuration is done with a build.sbt file, and not the full-fledged build.scala, and I won't be able to change that. I'm hoping that there's some setting that I can add in to stop Jetty from locking my files.

I'm admittedly new to Netsuite, so this may be obvious, although I've been unable to find anything specific one way or the other. In fact, I don't even attend any training until next week, but I'm trying to get part of my development environment setup with one of the editors/IDEs I prefer. I know that Netsuite offers an Eclipse plugin, but I'm not an Eclipse fan. I'd prefer to use either WebStorm or TextMate. (I'm on MacOS Sierra)
I tried installing the WebStorm plugin, but it's throwing an exception and is not functional. I submitted a bug on GitHub, but what I'd really like to know is if it's possible for me to write my own script to upload/download files to the cabinet, so I could just roll my own feature in TextMate. Is this possible, and if so, how? (Just a link to the docs is perfectly fine)
In other words, is it possible via their API, to submit changes to a script I've been working on in another editor/IDE? Or interact with our cabinet? (Not sure if I'm using the proper NS verbiage, but hopefully you get my intent) I'm thinking about writing a Python script, that accepts a local script path as a parameter, that will then get submitted to our cabinet. Thanks for the help in advance.
I wrote a plugin for JetBrains IDEs (I use WebStorm specifically though) that mimics NetSuite's Eclipse plugin. Feel free to take a look. It is open source and has ~1500 downloads at the current moment.

If you are the same person that opened this issue (https://github.com/Topher84/NetSuite-Tools-For-WebStorm/issues/7), it has been closed and was due to using an older version of WebStorm.
I don't like eclipse personally, so I just make my scripts in whatever and use Netsuite's script backend to upload the scripts as 'new' when I'm done. If I want to change them, simply use their backend again to 'edit' the script. You'll see a simple editor, where you can change things, or you just copy and paste what you have in there. It's a little more work than something integrated, but it does work..
It's my first time developing a project with other developers (only two, right now). Our idea is to edit the files right from the server, using a FTP/SFTP software such as FileZilla. We want that any file opened for editing become blocked, so the other user cannot edit it at the same time. Is this possible? If not with FileZilla, perhaps using other software? I've looked at Git, Codiad and other similar solutions, but they are too complicated (merge concurrent editions in GitHub is not trivial) or have bugs (Codiad is not saving the files). We thought that file-locking is primitive but good enough for us (we're in the same room). The question is: how do we implement it?
Don't go that way.
First of all, it's risky to have only one copy of your code and that's what will happen if you edit files on the server directly.
Secondly I really don't understand why people find git an overkill.
For small team and no actual delivery pipeline, you don't need to master the whole git powers. You don't even have to work with branches and merges.
All you need to start working with git is:
git clone URL_OF_REPOSITORY - to download a copy of repository and start working with it
git add PATH_TO_EDITED_FILE_OR_FOLDER - to mark files or/and folders as staged for commit
git commit -m 'DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES' - to commit/accept the changes in files and folders marked in previous step and save information about those changes locally
git push - to upload commited changes to the remote repository
git pull - to download changes committed and pushed by others from the remote repository
As you can see, the commands don't expect you to provide any sophisticated information. Just the url of remote repo, files you consider as ready to be shared with others and desired description of changes made. It's not hard, really. And one should really start being familiar with version control systems as this is one of the core skills in software development these days.
if u are owner of machine u can install Koding for team (max 4 for free) and use webide in collaborative mode.
Beeing a small team loking is ok (it shouldnt be used on big projects) but you should look into git, I have found it only gets messsy if you both work on the same bit of code at the same time. To remove some of the complexity look into a Git GUI, the one I use is sourcetree but there are many others, they just help you visualise what you are doing and what changes are happening.
now to answering your question, I dont know of any standalone software that will do what you are after but dreamweaver did have a way of locking files for itself. This was done by creating a file called filename.lock, this was a text file with details of who locked it. You could do something like this manually, so when you want to lock a file you create the lock file, then to unlock it you delete it and you both promice to not edit files that have a lock file.
Its not the best solution or the neetest but depending on how you work, it could work.
There's no file locking in FTP.
There's locking in SFTP, but it is not generally supported, see SFTP file lock mechanism for details.
There's locking in WebDAV, but afaik common implementations like mod_dav actually lock a file within a WebDAV "world" only, the actual underlying file is not locked in any way.
So I'm not aware of any generally available mechanism for locking files remotely.
From last few day , I was searching for static code analysis tool for ColdFusion. I have not got a good one till now. I found two.
YASCA
https://code.google.com/p/cf-metrics/
From YASCA I was getting only XSS alerts and some alerts for session mgmt, nothing more than that. I have tried with my entire project.
I am not even able to properly install cf-metrics using ColdFusion10 , After putting the required jar file in the lib folder I was not able to access any one my IIS site
because of some isapi redirect isse.
Any other tools available?
If you're still looking for a ColdFusion Linter, I would recommend CFLint. It's hosted on GitHub and Maven. The parser was updated to use ANTLR4, so it's much faster than previous editions. We're also making it easier to customize than JSLint.
I've looked at this a couple of times in the past, as I maintain a large CF application.
Each time I looked I was unable to find anything suitable. I spent a while looking into using the Railo CFML parser (because it's open source) to build something ourselves and concluded at the time that it was possible, but was no small task.
You may be able to re-examine the Railo approach, but feed the AST from Railo into an existing code analysis tool. I never got that far, but it may be possible to an extent.
I'd love to hear different, but the short answer is that there's not much out there.
When I go to SpecRunner.html in my browser, the unit tests run fine. The issue I am having is if I change one of the tests, or the code that it tests and refresh the page, it doesn't load the new tests or change at all. I thought that this would be a cache issue, but I have the chrome dev tools disable cache selected.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
EDIT: tried restarting my computer, nothing. Clearing cache, nothing. I don't understand why this would be happening.
EDIT2: tried force reload, nothing... changed the file name and reference and still loaded the old code...
This might not answer your specific problem, as there are a million reasons this could happen.
For me, it was because I had deleted some files and then re-added them as a git submodule. After doing this, ls was showing me the OLD files, and I didn't realize that I had to go up a directory and then back in to interact with the new files I had just pulled down.
Old question but I ended up here when looking for an answer, so here's my solution in case it helps anyone - I was having a similar problem with jasmine-rails, removing jasmine-specs.js from public/assets did it for me. I'm using the jasmine-rails gem from https://github.com/searls/jasmine-rails.
Let me first say I am aware of this faq for Mach-II, which discusses using application specific mappings as a third option when:
locating the framework in the server root is not possible and
creating a server wide mapping to the Mach-II framework directory is impossible
Using application specific mappings would also work for other ColdFusion frameworks with similar requirements (ColdSpring). Here is my issue however: my (I should say "their") production servers are all running ColdFusion MX7, and application specific mappings were introduced in ColdFusion 8. I most likely will be unable to do option 1 or 2 because they involve creating server wide changes that could conflict with other applications (I don't have a final word on this but I am preparing for that to be the case).
That said, is there anybody out there who was in similar bind and has done an option 4, in any ColdFusion version, or with any similar framework? The only option 4 I can think of is modifying the entire framework to change this hardcoded path, and even if that worked it would be time consuming and risky. I'm fairly sure that if there was a simple modification or other simple solution it would already be included in the framework (maybe it's included in version 1.8 of Mach-II and I don't know about it yet).
Any thoughts on solving this problem or even unorthodox setups with libraries that have specific path requirements would be appreciated. Any thoughts from Team Mach-II would especially appreciated...we're on the same team here Matt! ;-)
EDIT
Apparently, the ColdBox framework includes a refactor.xml ANT task which includes a target that refactors the ColdBox code to use a different absolute path as a base along with several other useful refactoring targets. So problem solved for ColdBox users.
Looking at the build.xml for Mach-II (1.6 and 1.8) I don't see any target in there that would allow me to refactor the code. I thought about creating a feature request ticket for such a task for Mach-II but frankly I don't think creating such an ANT task is a big priority for the MachII team since the need really only relates to either
a) users of ColdFusion versions below 8
b) someone who wants to use multiple Mach-II versions in the same application, a use I doubt they want to support
The ColdSpring code I have doesn't come with any ANT tasks at all, although I do have unit tests, and I bet if I poked around the SVN I'd find a few build scripts.
Using Ant tasks to refactor and retest the code, or the simpler (and sort of cop out) solution of creating a separate ColdFusion instance for the application are the best answers I've been able to come up with. I don't need this application to exist in the shared scope of other applications, so my first solution is going to be to try and get a dedicated CF instance for this application.
I'm also going to look at the ColdBox refactor.xml ANT task however and see if I can modify it to work generically to recognize and refactor CFC references with modified absolute paths. If I complete this task I'll be sure to post the code somewhere and edit create an answer to link to it. If anybody else wants to take a crack at that or help me out with it feel free.
Until then I'll leave this question open and see if someone comes up with a better solution.
Fusebox is not so strict, I think.
In XML mode (maybe I call this not 100% correcly, just mean using the Application.cfm) it's just proper include in index.cfm, something like:
<cfinclude template="fusebox5/fusebox5.cfm" />
In non-XML mode it will need proper extending in the root Application.cfc:
<cfcomponent extends="path.to.fusebox5.Application" output="false">
All you need is to know the path.
Perhaps you could create a symbolic link and let the operating system resolve the issue for you?
I've been playing with FW/1 lately, and while it may look like you need to add a mapping and extend org.corfield.framework, you can actually move the framework.cfc file into your web root and just extend="framework". It's dead simple, and gets you straight into a great framework with no mess and very little overhead.
It should be as simple as dropping the 'MachII' folder at the root of your domain (i.e. example.com/MachII). No mappings are required to use Mach-II if you just deploy at the root of the domain of your website.
Also:
Please file a ticket for the ANT task you mentioned in your question. Team Mach-II would love to have this issue logged:
Enter a new ticket on the Mach-II Trac
If you want to tackle an ANT task for us, we can get stuff like this incorporated into the builds faster than waiting to for a Team member to work on the ticket. Code submissions from the community are welcome and appreciated.
