Lucee 6 adds new component metadata with null values

Description

Looping over component metadata is a very common practice in CFML. However, in Lucee 6, we need to do an isNull() check because there are new metadata keys with null values:

for ( var thisKey in getComponentMetadata( this ) ) { variables[ thisKey ] = arguments.md[ thisKey ]; }

This throws

the value from key [subname] is NULL, which is the same as not existing in CFML

This is breaking the current ColdBox build on the Lucee 6 beta.

 

It seems there are at least 2 new metadata keys which do not correspond to CFML code:

  • sub

  • subname

Perhaps more.

Environment

Lucee 6.0.0.346-BETA

I've checked this ticket with Lucee 6.0.0.357-SNAPSHOT and Now the component key subname doesn't return NULL value and the issue is solved.

fullname - The dot-delimited path from the cf_webroot of the component. name - Component name, including the period-delimited path from a component search root such as the web root or a directory specified in the administrator Custom Tag Paths page.

not sure if it’s problem having the same value for name and fullname ?

as per the rejected task, the null checking is not the only issue note also checking fullname but using name
