Are there any issues with upgrading from ColdBox 3.0.0 M5-318-GENESIS-14:14 to M6?

Thanks,

Mallory,

The only thing I can think of to be aware of is what we mentioned on this blog post in terms of changes to the ORM Services.

Check your cfproperty tags if you use autowiring. “type” is now “inject”.

// Inject not Autowire
cfcomponent inject=true {…}

New Style (inject)
cfproperty name=‘model’ inject; // Model
cfproperty name=‘SessionStorage’ inject=‘coldbox:plugins:SessionStorage’;

Old Style (autowire)
cfproperty name=‘model’ autowire=‘true’
cfproperty name=‘SessionStorage’ autowire=‘coldbox:plugins:SessionStorage’;

That actually changed previously, M5 has the inject="" syntax. Can't
recall when that changed though.

Yes, but it wasn't until M6 that the type="" syntax was removed entirely. I had that issue when I upgraded my dev box to M6. So it's safe to change your code to inject="" in M5, but make sure you do before migrating to M6.
