| 15 | +## Quick Start Examples |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### Running from Different Locations |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +```bash |
| 20 | +# From the script-runner directory (simple) |
| 21 | +ant -Dwebroot="/path/to/your/project" -Dexecute="yourscript.cfm" |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +# From your project directory (recommended for external projects) |
| 24 | +ant -buildfile="/path/to/script-runner/build.xml" -Dwebroot="." -Dexecute="yourscript.cfm" |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +# From any directory with absolute paths |
| 27 | +ant -buildfile="C:\tools\script-runner\build.xml" -Dwebroot="C:\work\myproject" -Dexecute="test.cfm" |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +# Execute a script below the webroot |
| 30 | +ant -buildfile="C:\tools\script-runner\build.xml" -Dwebroot="C:\work\myproject" -Dexecute="extended/index.cfm" |
| 31 | +``` |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +### Testing Lucee Extensions |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +```bash |
| 36 | +# Testing Lucee Spreadsheet from its directory |
| 37 | +cd D:\work\lucee-spreadsheet |
| 38 | +ant -buildfile=D:\work\script-runner\build.xml -Dwebroot=. -Dexecute=/test/index.cfm |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +# Testing with specific Lucee version |
| 41 | +ant -buildfile=D:\work\script-runner\build.xml -DluceeVersionQuery=6.2/stable/jar -Dwebroot=D:\work\lucee-spreadsheet -Dexecute=/test/index.cfm |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +# Testing with a locally built Lucee JAR (for Lucee developers) |
| 44 | +ant -buildfile=D:\work\script-runner\build.xml -DluceeJar="D:\work\lucee\loader\target\lucee.jar" -Dwebroot=D:\work\lucee-spreadsheet -Dexecute=/test/index.cfm |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +# With unique working directory for concurrent runs |
| 47 | +ant -buildfile=D:\work\script-runner\build.xml -DuniqueWorkingDir=true -Dwebroot=D:\work\lucee-spreadsheet -Dexecute=/test/index.cfm |
| 48 | +``` |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## Shell-Specific Usage |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +### PowerShell |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +Use double quotes for paths with spaces. Single quotes also work (especially in scripts to avoid variable expansion). |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +```powershell |
| 57 | +# No spaces in paths |
| 58 | +ant -buildfile "C:\tools\script-runner\build.xml" -Dwebroot="C:\work\myproject" -Dexecute="test.cfm" |
| 59 | +
|
| 60 | +# Paths with spaces |
| 61 | +ant -buildfile "C:\tools\script-runner\build.xml" -Dwebroot="C:\work\my project" -Dexecute="test.cfm" -DuniqueWorkingDir=true |
| 62 | +
|
| 63 | +# Using single quotes to avoid variable expansion in scripts |
| 64 | +ant -buildfile='C:\tools\script-runner\build.xml' -Dwebroot='C:\work\project' -Dexecute='test.cfm' |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +### Command Prompt (Windows) |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Quotes are only needed if the path contains spaces. You can quote just the value or the entire parameter. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +```cmd |
| 72 | +REM No spaces in paths (no quotes needed) |
| 73 | +ant -buildfile=C:\tools\script-runner\build.xml -Dwebroot=C:\work\myproject -Dexecute=test.cfm -DuniqueWorkingDir=true |
| 74 | +
|
| 75 | +REM Spaces in paths (quotes required) |
| 76 | +ant -buildfile="C:\tools\script-runner\build.xml" -Dwebroot="C:\work\my project" -Dexecute="test.cfm" -DuniqueWorkingDir=true |
| 77 | +
|
| 78 | +REM Or quote the entire parameter (especially useful in batch files) |
| 79 | +ant "-buildfile=C:\Program Files\script-runner\build.xml" "-Dwebroot=C:\My Projects\test" -Dexecute=test.cfm |
| 80 | +``` |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +### Bash/WSL (Linux) |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +Use forward slashes and Linux-style paths. Quotes only if the path has spaces. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +```bash |
| 87 | +# No spaces in paths (no quotes needed) |
| 88 | +ant -buildfile /mnt/d/work/script-runner/build.xml -Dwebroot=/mnt/d/work/myproject -Dexecute=test.cfm -DuniqueWorkingDir=true |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +# Spaces in paths (quotes required) |
| 91 | +ant -buildfile "/mnt/d/work/script-runner/build.xml" -Dwebroot="/mnt/d/work/my project" -Dexecute="test.cfm" -DuniqueWorkingDir=true |
| 92 | +``` |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +### Quick Reference Table |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +| Shell | Example Command | |
| 97 | +|--------------- |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |
| 98 | +| PowerShell | `ant -buildfile "C:\tools\script-runner\build.xml" -Dwebroot="C:\work\my project" -Dexecute="test.cfm" -DuniqueWorkingDir=true` | |
| 99 | +| Command Prompt | `ant -buildfile=C:\tools\script-runner\build.xml -Dwebroot=C:\work\myproject -Dexecute=test.cfm -DuniqueWorkingDir=true` | |
| 100 | +| Bash/WSL | `ant -buildfile /mnt/d/work/script-runner/build.xml -Dwebroot=/mnt/d/work/myproject -Dexecute=test.cfm -DuniqueWorkingDir=true` | |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +**Key Points:** |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +- **PowerShell:** Use double quotes for paths with spaces. Single quotes work too (good for avoiding variable expansion) |
| 105 | +- **Command Prompt:** Quotes only if path has spaces. Can quote just the value or the whole parameter |
| 106 | +- **Bash/WSL:** Use forward slashes. Quotes only if path has spaces. Don't use Windows backslashes or drive letters |
| 107 | +- **Windows:** Never use trailing backslashes. Ever. |
| 108 | +- **All shells:** Don't escape quotes unless you like pain |
| 109 | +- **Debugging:** If Ant can't find your file, your path or quotes are wrong. Period. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +## Java Flight Recorder (JFR) Profiling |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +Enable JFR to capture detailed performance data during script execution. |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +### Basic JFR Usage |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +```bash |
| 118 | +ant -DFlightRecording=true -Dwebroot="." -Dexecute="yourscript.cfm" |
| 119 | +``` |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +### What JFR Captures |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +- Creates JFR recording files in `logs/{timestamp}-j{java.version}.jfr` |
| 124 | +- Captures CPU usage, memory allocation, garbage collection, thread activity |
| 125 | +- Settings: disk=true, dumponexit=true, maxsize=1024m, maxage=1d, settings=profile, path-to-gc-roots=true, stackdepth=128 |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +### Custom JFR Output Path |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +```bash |
| 130 | +ant -DFlightRecording=true -DFlightRecordingFilename="D:/my-logs/custom.jfr" -Dwebroot="." -Dexecute="yourscript.cfm" |
| 131 | +``` |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +### JFR API Access for Lucee |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +If you need Lucee to access JFR APIs directly (not just record), add the JFR module exports: |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +```bash |
| 138 | +ant -DjfrExports=true -Dwebroot="." -Dexecute="yourscript.cfm" |
| 139 | +``` |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +This adds `--add-exports=jdk.jfr/jdk.jfr=ALL-UNNAMED` and `--add-opens=jdk.jfr/jdk.jfr=ALL-UNNAMED` to allow Lucee code to use the JFR API. |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +### Analyzing JFR Files |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +```bash |
| 146 | +# Print summary |
| 147 | +jfr print logs/250101-120530-j21.jfr |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +# Print specific events |
| 150 | +jfr print --events CPULoad,GarbageCollection logs/250101-120530-j21.jfr |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +# Convert to JSON |
| 153 | +jfr print --json logs/250101-120530-j21.jfr > output.json |
| 154 | +``` |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +The `jfr` command-line tool is included in the JDK bin directory. For visual analysis, use JDK Mission Control (JMC) or import into profiling tools. |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +## Concurrent Execution |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +Multiple script-runner instances can be run simultaneously using unique working directories. |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +### Running Tests in Parallel |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +```bash |
| 165 | +# Run multiple instances concurrently |
| 166 | +ant -DuniqueWorkingDir="true" -Dexecute="test1.cfm" & |
| 167 | +ant -DuniqueWorkingDir="true" -Dexecute="test2.cfm" & |
| 168 | +ant -DuniqueWorkingDir="true" -Dexecute="test3.cfm" & |
| 169 | +wait |
| 170 | +``` |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +Each instance will use a unique working directory named `temp-unique/{VERSION}-{TIMESTAMP}-{RANDOM}` (timestamp format: `yyMMdd-HHmmss`) to prevent conflicts. |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +## Working Directory Examples |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +### Default Mode (Single Instance) |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +```bash |
| 179 | +# Uses temp/lucee - fast, but single instance only |
| 180 | +ant -DuniqueWorkingDir=false -Dwebroot=. -Dexecute=test.cfm |
| 181 | +``` |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +### Auto-Unique Mode (Concurrent Execution) |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +```bash |
| 186 | +# Uses temp-unique/{VERSION}-{TIMESTAMP}-{RANDOM} |
| 187 | +ant -DuniqueWorkingDir=true -Dwebroot=. -Dexecute=test.cfm |
| 188 | +``` |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +### Custom Path Mode |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +```bash |
| 193 | +# Uses your specified directory |
| 194 | +ant -DuniqueWorkingDir=C:/fast/work -Dwebroot=. -Dexecute=test.cfm |
| 195 | +``` |
| 196 | + |
| 197 | +### Preserving Working Directory for Inspection |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +```bash |
| 200 | +# Don't cleanup before or after - useful for debugging |
| 201 | +ant -DpreCleanup=false -DpostCleanup=false -Dwebroot=. -Dexecute=test.cfm |
| 202 | +``` |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +## Testing Extensions |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +### Testing a Built Extension |
| 207 | + |
| 208 | +```bash |
| 209 | +# Install extension from dist/ directory and run tests |
| 210 | +ant -buildfile=script-runner/build.xml \ |
| 211 | + -DluceeVersion="6.2.2.91" \ |
| 212 | + -Dwebroot="$BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/lucee/test" \ |
| 213 | + -DextensionDir="$BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/dist" \ |
| 214 | + -Dexecute="bootstrap-tests.cfm" \ |
| 215 | + -DtestAdditional="$BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR/tests" |
| 216 | +``` |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | +### Testing with Debug Mode |
| 219 | + |
| 220 | +```bash |
| 221 | +# Enable Java debugger on port 5000 |
| 222 | +ant -Ddebugger=true -Dwebroot=. -Dexecute=test.cfm |
| 223 | +``` |
| 224 | + |
| 225 | +Then connect your IDE debugger to `localhost:5000`. |
| 226 | + |
