I'm working on a Lucee application that makes heavy use of custom tags.
My structure is as follows:
Calling app file - C:\lucee\tomcat\webapps\web-portal\web-champs\index.cfm
Location of file I'm calling - C:\lucee\tomcat\webapps\empportal\Champs\CFC\invoice.cfc
I've defined a custom tag in the Lucee admin with a name of empportal and resource of C:\lucee\tomcat\webapps\empportal\ (also tried without a trailing \). I restarted the server after adding the custom tag.
Error message
invalid component definition, can't find component [empportal.Champs.CFC.invoice] Stacktrace
The Error Occurred in C:\lucee\tomcat\webapps\web-portal\web-champs\dsp_outstandingInvoices.cfm: line 1
1: <cfinvoke component="empportal.Champs.CFC.invoice" method="getOutstandingItems" org_ID="#session.orgID#" returnvariable="getOutstandingItems" />
I also tried creating the component using new empportal.Champs.CFC.invoice() and same issue.
In Lucee you need to place files in the ROOT\ folder so tomcat can load them. In my case moving the folders to C:\lucee\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\ instead of C:\lucee\tomcat\webapps\ and restarting fixed the issue.
