Hi I'm getting an error loading modules (which used to work fine). To
check it wasn't anything I'd done, I used the ColdBox Builder plugin
to create a new module in my app and I still get:
An unhandled exception has occurred. Please look at the diagnostic
information below:
Type Expression
Message Element DEFAULTLAYOUT is undefined in a CFML structure
referenced as part of an expression.

I've got my application set up to use composition instead of
Application.cfc extending ColdBox.cfc. I got ColdBox directly from
github.
The config for the Module is (as generated):
<cfcomponent output="false" hint="My Module Configuration">
<cfscript>
/**
Module Directives as public properties
this.title = "Title of the module";
this.author = "Author of the module";
this.webURL = "Web URL for docs purposes";
this.description = "Module description";
this.version = "Module Version"
Optional Properties
this.viewParentLookup = (true) [boolean] (Optional) // If true,
checks for views in the parent first, then it the module.If false,
then modules first, then parent.
this.layoutParentLookup = (true) [boolean] (Optional) // If true,
checks for layouts in the parent first, then it the module.If false,
then modules first, then parent.
this.entryPoint = "" (Optional) // If set, this is the default
event (ex:forgebox:manager.index) or default route (/forgebox) the
framework
will use to create an entry link to the module.
Similar to a default event.
structures to create for configuration
- parentSettings : struct (will append and override parent)
- settings : struct
- datasources : struct (will append and override parent)
- webservices : struct (will append and override parent)
- interceptorSettings : struct of the following keys ATM
- customInterceptionPoints : string list of custom interception
points
- interceptors : array
- routes : array Allowed keys are same as the addRoute() method of the
SES interceptor.
- modelMappings : structure of model mappings. Allowed keys are the
alias and path, same as normal model mappings.
Available objects in variable scope
- controller
- appMapping (application mapping)
- moduleMapping (include,cf path)
- modulePath (absolute path)
- log (A pre-configured logBox logger object for this object)
Required Methods
- configure() : The method ColdBox calls to configure the module.
Optional Methods
- onLoad() : If found, it is fired once the module is fully loaded
- onUnload() : If found, it is fired once the module is unloaded

/**

function onUnload(){

The parent application runs fine, any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks,
