Inspect templates functionality has changed in 6.2.8.20

We have recently updated from 6.2.6.19 to 6.2.8.20 and have noticed, what we consider to be significant change - if not bug, in how the inspect templates “Auto (Optimized Perfomance)” functionality now works.

With 6.2.6.19 any change we made to any CFM/CFC file was immediately picked up Lucee and could be checked in our application. With 6.2.8.20 we are now having to resort to rebuilding our application for file changes to be recognised. In our view this is a massive retrograde step which seems to have been caused by Jira.

From our POV “Auto” now seems to be working more like “Never”

Can this be looked at (and fixed)? Or is there a way, in the short term at least we can set it up so that either “Once (Good)” or “Always (Not recommended)” ?

Can you replicate this e.g. with a single file and the Lucee Docker image ? This would rule out anything different in your deployment pipeline.

Nothing has changed in either our deployment pipeline or Docker image other than changing from v6.2.6.19 to v6.2.8.20

This is not an issue at our end - other Lucee users have experienced the same issue after this bug fix - Changelogs disappeared on website? - #4 by sthen

I just discovered there isn’t a full Docker release for v6.2.8.20 either, so we can’t help verify this in our pipeline either.

Confirmed regression from LDEV-6358 (Auto was behaving like Never for editor/deploy changes). Fixed in Lucee 6.2.9.3 — details: Jira

The same fix will follow for Lucee 7. Until you upgrade, workaround is still Inspect Templates “Once” (or “Always”) instead of Auto.

So 6.2.9.4-SNAPSHOT or later on Dockerhub should have this fix right ?

Yes, the Inspect Templates Auto fix landed in 6.2.9.3, and the line is now at 6.2.9.4-SNAPSHOT. Docker Hub already has lucee/lucee:6.2.9.4-SNAPSHOT* images from Monday, including the nginx variants. There’s no separate 6.2.9.3 Docker tag, so use a 6.2.9.4-SNAPSHOT image. Until you upgrade, the workaround is still to set Inspect Templates to “Once” (or “Always”).

@ABrunt quick update: Inspect Templates “Auto” not picking up changes to .cfm/.cfc files since 6.2.8.20 is fixed in 6.2.9.4-RC, which is out now: Lucee 6.2.9.4-RC available for testing. The Docker images are lucee/lucee:6.2.9.4-RC plus the -light, -zero and -nginx variants.

The fix (PR #2809) and a regression test are merged into 6.2, tracked as LDEV-6482. Lucee 7 isn’t affected.

It would be great if you could try the RC with Inspect Templates back on “Auto” and let us know if your edits are picked up again.
