CF11 u18 cffeed issue

Howdy!

Thank you for your suggestion Priyank. I tried it, and while it did not solve the problem, it got me frustrated enough that I began whacking at the issue some more and I found my solution. Turns out it was a Windows folder permissions issue.

Basically my latest problem solving attempts led me to the conclusion that it was all going kaboom when the created file was supposed to be written/saved on the hard drive. Something which was working fine before. So, I went to the folder where the feed was supposed to be saved, removed the ColdFusion related Windows permissions, and put them back again. Then I tried the cffeed page again, and ... no error message.

I have no idea why turning the folder's Windows permissions "off and then back on again" made a difference. But it worked, and I am happy.

Again, thank you for your time and your help! I was so busy grumbling to myself about the most recent ColdFusion update that I forgot other settings can cause issues also.

Howdy!

I also have no issues with the example you provided.

Here is an example that will not work for me in CF11 u18 in a sanboxed environment. Prior to u18 this example would work.

<cfscript>

    myFeed = StructNew();

    myFeed.link = "my rss link";

    myFeed.title = "My RSS Title";

    myFeed.description = "My RSS Description";

    myFeed.pubDate = Now();

    myFeed.version = "rss_2.0";

    myFeed.item = ArrayNew(1);

    itemStruct = StructNew();

    itemStruct.description = StructNew();

    itemStruct.title = "My Item Title";

    itemStruct.link = "my item link";

    itemStruct.pubDate = Now();

    itemStruct.guid = StructNew();

    itemStruct.guid.isPermaLink="false";

    itemStruct.guid.value = CreateUUID();

    savecontent variable="cfcStruct.myDescription" {

        writeOutput("<p>Some text here.</p>");

        writeOutput("<p>Some more text here.</p>");

    }

    itemStruct.description.value = cfcStruct.myDescription;

    ArrayAppend(myFeed.item, StructCopy(itemStruct));

</cfscript>

<cfdump var="#myFeed#">

<cffeed action="create" name="#myFeed#" overwrite="yes" escapeChars="true" outputFile="[someplace I have write/edit/delete access]\rssTest.xml">

Here is what rssTest.xml file looks like when run on CF2018, no sandbox

Hi,

I will give it a try and let you know. Meanwhile, can you please log a bug in the tracker for the same.

Thanks,
