Local Testing

Command box is used for local testing, but it requires jre which is incompatible with github and heroku. Both should be placed within webroot. Make sure the jre directory and box.exe are ignored by including them within the .gitignore file.

Commandbox

Commandbox can be downloaded here. Download the version with JRE, and then run box.exe. Once commandbox is up and running simply run server start from within the webroot of your local directory.

Layouts

The default /view/controller/layout.cfm does not appear to work as the default layout on Heroku. Instead the parent level /view/layout.cfm is used, and the controller specific layout is ignored. To fix this simply add the following code within the config function in the desired controller.cfc:

function config() {
    usesLayout(name="layout", template="layout");
}

Issue

To my knowledge, the Lucee admin is currently not accessible one the Heroku site. You will only see the set password page, but the directory to set a new password on the Heroku servers is not accessible. Lucee no longer allows you to set the initial password through the web. Instead a password.txt file must be imported from the {lucee-server} directory.
