Custom Tag location

Hi, I am very new to Lucee and my question may sound a bit naive.

In our application custom tags are being used and recently one of the environments was updated and custom tag ( <cfx_encryption mode=“test” varname = “myVar” text=#myText# password=“#key#”/>) stopped working with the following exception :
lucee.runtime.exp.NativeException: there is no Custom Tag (CFX) with name [encryption], available Custom Tags are [helloworld]

It seems like CustomTag definition was not redeployed after an update.

I checked Lucee documentation and there are 3 places to locate the Custom Tags :

  1. in CFC file in the same directory where CFMs are
  2. in the location defined in Application.cfc
  3. in the (lucee-server)/library/tag or (lucee-web)/library/tag

I looked up the environment where our custom Tag is working correctly and I couldn’t find a definition of this tag anywhere.

Where should I look to find a definition of the Custom Tag?

Thank you in advance.

It looks like you’re using a cfx tag.

 <cfx_encryption mode=“test” varname = “myVar” text=#myText# password="#key#"/>

Those aren’t really supported very well and there’s a good chance you upgraded Lucee to a version that dropped support entirely. I’m not too familiar with how Lucee used to support cfx tags, but I don’t think it follows the same rules as the normal .cfm based custom tags that you were looking at the documentation for.

See if this page still exists in your administrator:
/lucee/admin/web.cfm?action=resources.cfx_tags
it could also just be a case of config getting lost.

Thanks a lot for a prompt response. I checked the “resources.cfs_tags” page and the only “cfx” tag defined was “<cfx_helloworld>” that absolutely makes sense given the error message I received. If it’s still there that means to me that CFX tags are being supported by this version of Lucee ( 5.3.7.47 ). The only thing left is to find the location of the classes that implement the tags. Thank you!

CPP CFX was removed in 5.2.7.26

What version of Lucee are you using?

5.3.7.47 - I added definitions of the tags to the Server Context in Lucee Admin and fixed a problem. Thank you for your help.
