Lucee 6 createObject() returns instance from another project

dev support

Hey everybody, I’m running into a strange problem on our first Lucee 6 instance. We’re running 2 projects there, “api-live” and “api-stage” which are basically the same project, but different git branches for production and user testing.

Inside we have

/api
  /v2
    /Application.cfc -> Handles all requests
    /index.cfm
/index.cfm -> Returns 404

If i use following line in my /api/v2/Application.cfc’s onRequestStart:
local.test = createObject('component', 'api.v2.path.to.component')

And dump local.test, getMetaData(local.test) or getComponentMetaData(local.test), all the paths, sources point to “E:\projects\api-live\api\v2\path\to\component.cfc” (live), even tho I’m dumping from “E:\projects\api-stage\api\v2\Application.cfc” (stage) and I cannot figure out why.

  • Unfortunately I cannot upgrade the Lucee Version yet due to permission
  • I saw in .CFConfig.json, that “mode” is set to “single”
  • Both Application.cfc have a unique this.name and this.applicationName
  • I tried adding an Application.cfc to the root of the project with a unique name too
  • I tried clearing component, application and function cache in the Lucee Admin
  • I tried using the new xyz() syntax

Don’t forget to tell us about your stack!

does this show any clues?

We had the same problem. We ended up having to take Lucee out of single mode and that resolved the issue. Next week I will see if I can figure a way to duplicate it and share the results.

In my testing, I was able make things work by clearing the caches in the admin area in a specific order. It would then work for a bit until both sites applications were loaded.

I wasn’t able to find a pattern as to why, but some cfcs would load correctly, while other CFC/functions would load from the other site.

I know this wasn’t exactly helpful in figuring out what is going on, but wanted to share my experience.

I see there is a test suite for this. Single Mode Test Suite I will expand on that.
