FarCry 7.2.12/p740: Handling of ExpandPath() exceptions missing

[justincarter]

I would like to see the FarCry CMS to be that stable that errors like these are caught appropriately. We (as developers) should receive detailed information of what went wrong where, no matter if we run the software in-house, at a customer site or at a provider in a Shared Hosting environment without the need to investigate issues like those for days.

The p740 branch is “beta” and the issues you’ve found are with Adobe ColdFusion incompatibility with Lucee. It’s not a stable branch and it hadn’t been previously tested on ACF until you raised these issues That said, I think we’ve resolved these issues now.

As I mentioned in the other thread I’m still not clear on how/why expandPath is failing for you, I’ve not seen this happen in 13+ years of using ACF. If a server is misconfigured then I think the configuration problem needs to be fixed, but if it’s something that I can work around without creating other problems or a performance hit then I’m happy to do it!
