Coldspring Issue on Coldfusion 2018 PreRelease - Is abstract a protected variable name now?

Report · Feb 21, 2018

I am probably dating myself here, but I have an application running Mach-II and Coldspring (which I use for dependency injection). I recently upgraded to CF 2016 and did not have any issues with this version/upgrade. I was testing the CF 2018 Pre-release build today and was unable to get my application to load. Looks to be throwing on error on this:

ColdFusion was looking at the following text:

The CFML compiler was processing:

A cfset tag beginning on line 243, column 18.

It was not a reserved word in CF2016 or prior: ColdFusion Help | Reserved words . From that error, it might be the case, but i'd also look you already have abstract defined elsewhere. Hard to say from that snippet.

I was unaware that 2018 was in pre-release, or released from embargo.

Thanks for the reply. I just realized there is a separate forum for 2018. I received an invite today so I am guessing it is all fairly new. I was able to get further along just by changing abstract to abstractn so I am guessing it is a protected word now. It's the only instance of the word abstract in the entire CFC and it's throwing an error on the CFSET when I am trying to scope it so seemed really strange.

Report · Feb 21, 2018

It'd be beneficial if Adobe added the following Lucee-only CFML functions in order to easily identify all reserved words & eliminate any guesswork.

Report · Jul 30, 2018

I've had the same issue - I found that changing changing all local instances of the the variable "abstract" to "isAbstract" within the loadBeanDefinitions function seemed to do the trick.

Report · Oct 22, 2018

We are installing CF 2018 now on a DEV server with Coldspring and ran into this same issue. Charlie mentioned this at CF Summit in his Hidden Features in CF 2018 session so when it happened, we knew exactly what to look for. We changed the local variables to isAbstract from Abstract and could proceed.
