Hi,

Any idea why Lucee 5 is fine a call but Lucee 6.0.3.1 blows up with:

lucee.runtime.exp.MissingIncludeException: Page [/lucee/formtag-form.cfm] [/opt/lucee/tomcat/lucee-server/context/context/formtag-form.cfm] not found

We have the Form Tags extensions installed (1.0.0.10).

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4
Java Version: 11.0.22
Tomcat Version: Apache Tomcat/9.0.86
Lucee Version: 6.0.3.1

Many thanks,

Chris

Had the same issue on one server, uninstalling the extension and installing it again solved it.

Hi Kave,

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately this was the first thing we tried and I’ve just had another go, no luck. Failing to see how Lucee doesn’t have access to an extension it installed to be honest! Not our first show stopper with moving to Lucee 6 sadly

Ah bummer.
My bad, the error message wasn’t exactly the same as yours. It was something along the lines of
Extension was not found locally and not found on remote server (...lucee.org)

download the extension and install it manually.

Thanks for the suggestion Andreas, I tried the following steps:

  1. download .lex file from https://download.lucee.org/

  2. copy file to /opt/lucee/tomcat/lucee-server/deploy

  3. Wait for a minute, it deploys the extension automatically

  4. Checked Extensions in the lucee admin and it was present and up to date

Unfortunately still the same issue:

Hi,

We did a complete server rebuild from scratch installed on a fresh Ubuntu Server and are still experiencing this bug. I’ve tried a manual install of every version of the Form Tags extension has anyone got it working with Lucee 6?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi, this is still not working in:

Lucee 6.1.0.243

Can I check we are posting this as a bug to the right place or is anyone aware of a better place to post a bug in Lucee or the Lucee Form Tags Extension?

You can create a ticket here and add a small testcase:
https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/LDEV/issues

However, the form-tag extension is deprecated. So i´m not sure if the support was dropped in lucee 6 or if there will be any fixes. In long term you need to rewrite that code.
Anyway you should create a ticket and see what the response of the maintainers will be.

Hi David,

Thanks for the response we actually managed to get this working by copying the formtag-form.cfm from a Lucee 5 instance to:

/opt/lucee/tomcat/lucee-server/context/context

But yes we are looking to rewrite that code.

Thanks for your help!

As a new Lucee user starting on 6, I had trouble with the formtag-form.cfm file returning a 404. I have a Windows instance, so trekking through the responses here eventually led me to placing it in the context/context directory as indicated. Forms no longer return an error but this methodology of ‘fixing’ it is discouraging.

Has support for the cfform tag been deprecated as of Lucee 6?

Did you install the extension “Lucee Form tags”

I just had the same issue. These are errors I copied from the browser:

• /lucee/formtag-form.cfm” was blocked due to MIME type (“text/html”) mismatch
• Uncaught ReferenceError: LuceeForms is not defined
• Uncaught ReferenceError: lucee_form_6 is not defined
• Refused to execute script from ‘https://xx/lucee/formtag-form.cfm’ because its MIME type (‘text/html’) is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.

From the information in this topic I got it working with the same fix i.e.

On Windows Server, I copied and saved the file from Lucee 5.4.3.16 :
C:\lucee\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lucee\context\formtag-form.cfm
Updated Lucee to 6.1.1.118
Copied the saved formtag-form.cfm back to:
C:\lucee\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lucee\context\context
It works!
But why is this missing from an update that has the file in the version being updated:
Is the extension just missed from the update?
Is it no longer supported even for backward compatibility?

Lucee Form Tags 1.0.0.10 was installed in Lucee 5 and is still installed in the updated Lucee 6.

As suggested above, I looked at submitting a ticket but there is a message that asks for issues to be raised on the forum first to be discussed/validated. Can this be raised as an issue? There may be other users running into this.

Btw. The update did not complete on the first attempt, the websites were running again but mappings had not been copied to Lucee 6. I also had the Lucee Admin not found error. I had to restart the server and then everything was working again.
