bx-cli BoxLang Installation

This package is a new form of CommandBox called bx-cli which runs on BoxLang and is meant to be installed as a BoxLang module into your BoxLang home. It currently requires

• BoxLang 1.10.0-snapshot
• the latest commandbox-boxlang CommandBox module

It will eventually ship with BoxLang, but for now, you can install it with CommandBox, or manually into your BoxLang home. To ensure executable registration works, ensure the bin folder in your BoxLang home (probably ~/.boxlang/bin) is added to your OS PATH env var. All of our BoxLang installers should do this for you soon.

Invoke bx-cli as

boxlang cli

Once you've launched it, you can add a box alias like so

boxlang cli executable create box "boxlang cli"

and then run it as box from there on out.

bx-cli will use your previous CommandBox home, if you have one. This means all your

• modules
• servers
• server JREs
• artifacts
• config
• history

will be preserved. In fact, you can share the CommandBox home between a CommandBox 6.x installation and bx-cli (7.0-alpha) installation at the same time.

THIS IS ALPHA SO THERE WILL BE ISSUES STILL. Please report any issues.

Known issues

• CFLint module uses Lucee-specific OSGI helper and does not work
• Any task runners which have Lucee-specific code will not work as we're now powered by BoxLang

Modules I've done some testing with (they load without error):

• cb-module-template
• commandbox-fusionreactor
• commandbox-http-command
• testbox-cli
• commandbox-cfconfig
• wheels-cli
• commandbox-service-manager@ortus
• commandbox-bookmarks
• coldbox-cli
• commandbox-cfformat
• commandbox-hostupdater
• commandbox-dotenv
• commandbox-boxlang
• contentbox-cli
• commandbox-docbox
