CF Admin API - collections

Question

I am trying to access the collections api for the CF Admin and have a question.  I am executing a call to the reloadCollection method but it does not appear to return any value.  Here is a sample snippet of the code I am trying to execute/collectionObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.collections");
collectionObj.reloadCollection("testCollection");The above executes without issue but if I try setting the method call to a variable and then try and dump the variable the code generates an error that the variable was undefined.tempTest = collectionObj.reloadCollection("testCollection");
writeDump(var="#tempTest#",format="html");Is there a way to determine if the call has executed successfully?

The variable is undefined because reloadCollection() has void return-type.You could test for a successful reload as follows: try {collectionObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.collections");collectionObj.reloadCollection("testCollection");collectionReloaded=true;} catch (any xception) {collectionReloaded=false;//writedump(var=xception, label="ReloadCollection failure");}writeoutput("

Is testCollection reloaded: " & collectionReloaded & "

");

There is a workaround that does not involve code. It goes as follows:

Open the ColdFusion Administrator. Navigate to Data & Services > Solr Server. Read off the Solr port number. Mine is 8993.
Launch the following URL in the browser: http://127.0.0.1:{portNumber}/solr/#/
In my case, this is: http://127.0.0.1:8993/solr/#/

3. Click on the Core Admin menu. Select the collection and press the Reload button.
