SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

CommandBox task runners simplify and standardize CFML build, migration, and workflow automation by encapsulating tasks as reusable CFML components.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create and manage task CFCs with named targets and default run behavior.
  • Define and enforce lifecycle events (preTask, postTask, onError, onComplete) for robust workflows.
  • Pass parameters, chain commands, and implement dynamic values within tasks.
  • Support for interactive jobs, progress tracking, file watching, and task dependencies for complex pipelines.
  • Integrate with CommandBox to execute system commands, manage environments, and automate CI/local development tasks.

Quick Start

Create a default task file named task.cfc in your project and run the default target using the task runner.
