Installing VS Code Coldfusion Builder Extension on MacOS Monterey
I am unable to create a CF Server in Visual Studio Code Adobe ColdFusion Builder Extension.
Configuration and steps are listed below I followed during installation:
Environment installing on
Operating: System MacOS Monterey (version 12.6)
Processor: 4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 (Late 2015)
Visual Studio Code Version 1.72.0
Coldfusion Builder Extension version 1.0.443
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.16+11-LTS-199)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.16+11-LTS-199, mixed mode)
System requirements
macOS: macOS 12.
Java 11 as the recommended JDK.
Version 1.68 of VS Code or above.
MACOS Installation
Note: macOS 10.15 Catalina and above uses zsh shell. I followed steps below using both the Terminal Windows in VS Code, (when it did not appear to work work) then I tried again using the Mac’s Terminal Window)
zsh shell
- Downloaded and installed (jdk-11.0.16_macos-x64_bin.dmg)
- Created zsh environment file: touch ~/.zshenv
- Located the Java binaries: /usr/libexec/java_home The following path appeared, /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.16.jdk/Contents/Home
- Copied and pasted the Java binary path to the zshenv file. Type: open ~/.zshenv
- In the environment editor, type: export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.16.jdk/Contents/Home
- Saves and exited the editor.
- Applied the change into the current shell: source ~/.zshenv
- Checked if the environment variable is set properly: echo $JAVA_HOME The following environment appeared: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.16.jdk/Contents/Home
I re-started Visual Studio Cold Fusion and receive the following messages:
1 - Caching components: 3/87 (3 went to 87 and message closed) Source: CFML (Extension)
2 - Adobe Cold Fusion Builder is now attached with the VS Code Client. Source: Adobe ColdFusion Builder (Extension)
I next selected the CF Builder Extension icon in VSCode:
PROJECT MANAGER shows “No workspace created Yet”
If I attempt to create a Workspace I receive the following message:
Error running command cfml.project.refresh: command 'cfml.project.refresh' not found. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes cfml.project.refresh.
CF SERVERS shows “No server created Yet” and has a Blue button “Add Server”
Pressing the Add Server Button I receive the following message:
Error running command cfml.server.create: command 'cfml.server.create' not found. This is likely caused by the extension that contributes cfml.server.create.
