Hola amigo! I'm excited that you are interested in contributing to ColdBox, CacheBox, LogBox, and/or WireBox. Before submitting your contribution, please make sure to take a moment and read through the following guidelines:

Code Of Conduct

This project is open source, and as such, the maintainers give their free time to build and maintain the source code held within. They make the code freely available in the hope that it will be of use to other developers and/or businesses. Please be considerate towards maintainers when raising issues or presenting pull requests. We all follow the Golden Rule: Do to others as you want them to do to you.

  • As contributors and maintainers of this project, we pledge to respect all people who contribute through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating documentation, submitting pull requests or patches, and other activities.

  • Participants will be tolerant of opposing views.

  • Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include the use of sexual language or imagery, derogatory comments or personal attacks, trolling, public or private harassment, insults, or other unprofessional conduct.

  • Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions not aligned with this Code of Conduct. Project maintainers who do not follow the Code of Conduct may be removed from the project team.

  • When interpreting the words and actions of others, participants should always assume good intentions. Emotions cannot be derived from textual representations.

  • Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by opening an issue or contacting one or more of the project maintainers.

Bug Reporting

Each of the main standalone frameworks in ColdBox has separate locations for submitting bug reports. Please also ensure that if you submit a pull request, you link it to the appropriate issue.

  • ColdBox Core:

  • CacheBox :

  • LogBox :

  • WireBox:

If you file a bug report, your issue should contain a title, a clear description of the issue, a way to replicate the issue, and any support files we might need to replicate your issue. The goal of a bug report is to make it easy for yourself - and others - to replicate the bug and develop a fix for it. All issues that do not contain a way to replicate will not be addressed.

Support Questions

If you have questions about usage, professional support, or just ideas to bounce off the maintainers, please do not create an issue. Leverage our support channels first.

Pull Request Guidelines

  • The master branch is just a snapshot of the latest stable release. All development should be done in dedicated branches. Do not submit PRs against the master branch. They will be closed.

  • All pull requests should be sent against the development branch or the LTS version branch releases/v{version}

  • It's OK to have multiple small commits as you work on the PR - GitHub will automatically squash it before merging.

  • Make sure all local tests pass before submitting the merge.

  • Please make sure all your pull requests have companion tests.

  • Please link the Jira issue in your PR title when sending the final PR

Security Vulnerabilities

Development Setup

Language Compatibility

Please make sure your code runs on the following Supported CFML Engines:

  • Lucee 5+

  • Adobe ColdFusion 2018+

Coding Styles & Formatting

We are big on coding styles and have included a .cfformat.json in the root of the project so that you can run the formatting tools and CommandBox scripts:

# Format everything
box run-script format

# Start a watcher, type away, save and auto-format for you
box run-script format:watch

We recommend that anytime you hack on the core, you start the format watcher (box run-script format:watch). This will monitor your changes and auto-format your code for you.
