We are pleased to announce the Public Beta of the ColdFusion Builder extension for VS Code. If you're using ColdFusion Builder, would you like to take part in helping the CF team make Builder the best it can be?

The all-new Adobe ColdFusion Builder extension for VS Code helps developers to edit and validate code, manage files and projects, and debug and scan for security vulnerabilities.  

The extension includes the Server Panel, RDS, PMT, Code Assist, Security Analyzer, and many many more such cool features.

Love it!

Is this a spam comment?  If not, what do you love abouce the "Adobe CFML" VSCode extension?

[gravyware]

Personally, I love the fact that ColdFusion is finally getting a CF Builder extension for an IDE that is widely used.  Also how CF is still being supported by Adobe, while the world seems to think its dead.  I'm constantly trying to convince people of CF's rapid development purpose and how things get done twice as fast.  We've got Devs that are all using different IDEs, and perhaps this will help us all standardize on one.

FYI: The link to the "Security Code Analyzer" mentioned in the overview is "404 not found".

It appears all "go" links in the overview are 404NotFound. (I've tested 5 links.)  Is it just me?

[Charlie Arehart]

Yep, James. And FWIW I'd filed a bug report on that last week. Votes welcome (though we'd agree none should be needed, nor should there be much delay for them to solve this) :

Yes, they are 404 right now but will be live once the extension is live.

Thanks, Saurav, but it's a bad look and confusing. Why not at least have those links all go to a page that simply says that, and offers a link to the current beta doc pdf? 

[James Moberg]

I'm surprised there was no review and that the overview with broken links was accepted.  The overview can be edited and I think it'd be better to temporarily link to the PDF & blog rather than have official Adobe links serve up "404 Not Found" errors.  The VSCode exension page doesn't mention "public beta" or warn that "many links don't work"... it just seems broken and I haven't experienced this with any other extensions available via the Microsoft Marketplace.
