Abstract component

[boris-schwarz]

Scenario

• I'm using CFLint-1.5.0-all.jar with the VS Code extension CFLint v0.3.6
• I created an abstract ColdFusion component aFoo.cfc with the following contents:

abstract component {

	/**
	 * @hint Gets a dummy string
	 */
	public string function getBar() output=false {
		return 'baz';
	}

}

Expected behaviour

CFLint should see no problems with this file.

Effective behaviour

• CFLint gives me an error on line 1: End of statement(;) expected after abstract
• CFLint gives me an error on line 12: End of statement(;) expected after function
• CFLint gives me an error on line 12: End of statement(;) expected after false (This one is not visible in VS Code due being on the same line as the previous one. It can be seen by running CFLint manually, see below.)

Possible workaround

• Remove abstract from the component during development. In my case this causes problems with depencendy injection tho.
• Rewrite all abstract components in the cftag syntax, where it works.

Additional Information

• Windows 11
• Lucee 5.3.10.97
