coldbox 3.81 Not processing setnextevent or runevent

Hi all,

I have an issue that is puzzling me. I have an event that is generating a report via excel using cfcontent. The idea is that during the excel generation there is a possibility of there being an error in the report. The idea is that I would then notify the user with a message in the messagebox that an error has occurred.

So far, everything is working ok but when the page processes, the setnextevent or even run event doesn’t work. I even tried to throw in a cflocation but no dice.

Any suggestions on things to try?

code:

Handler:

Generate query for the report and pass query into exportData to generate the excel file Both of these are not run at the same time. I have tried both

last part of exportData (Which creates the excel file)

Now this does generate a report no problem, it just won’t relocate to another page.

Follow up.

I changed a few things up.

I am writing the spreadsheet with SpreadsheeWrite then send the file by calling fileUtils.sendFile()

The issue is, when I send the file, processing stops at that point.
renEvent still doesn’t run.

Does anyone else experience this?

I wouldn’t expect you to be able to use redirect headers, when you’ve already dedicated the HTTP response to serving a file
https://github.com/ColdBox/cbox-cbcommons/blob/master/modules/cbcommons/models/FileUtils.cfc#L159

Can you open a new window to download the file and redirect in the main window?

Thanks!

I’ll try that and see if that and see what I come up with.

Thanks
