And while WebSocket communication is awesome, I've always treated it as a "nice to have" feature - one that shouldn't make or break the user experience (UX). In that vein, I wanted to see if I could use Pusher WebSockets to show a progress indicator during a page redirect. This would be especially nice during report generation where the user may have to sit there for a while as the "numbers get crunched." To explore this idea, I'm going to use the sleep() function to simulate some latency in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3920-using-pusher-websockets-to-show-progress-during-page-unload-redirect-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Tweet - Brad Wood - Hidden feature of Adobe CFWhoa, I just found a cool hidden feature of Adobe CF.  If you open your neo-logging.xml file a switch the consoleVisible setting to true a start CF, you'll get a cool Java Swing GUI window with all your console logs.  You can even filter on logger categories. #CFML #ColdFusion https://twitter.com/bdw429s/status/1324483441434525696 https://twitter.com/bdw429s Blog - Ben Nadel - Using Redis Blocking List Operations To Power Long-Polling In Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47The other day, when talking about using Pusher WebSockets in a ColdFusion application, I had mentioned that I typically think of WebSockets as a "nice to have" feature. Meaning, they can progressively enhance a user experience (UX); but, they are not critical to the operation of the product. This got me thinking about how I might implement the previous post using some sort of "fall back" mechanism. Without data being "pushed" to the client, the client has to "pull" data from server. One such approach to pulling data is a long-polling request that blocks-and-waits for a response. Always looking for more ways to leverage Redis in my ColdFusion applications, I wanted to see if I could use Redis' blocking list operations (BLPOP) to power such a long-polling request in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.47.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3921-using-redis-blocking-list-operations-to-power-long-polling-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htm Blog - Toomba - How to use TestBox results within GitLab CI pipelineIn this post, we are going to see what TestBox is, why you should work with it, and how you can integrate it with Gitlab.
