Error initializing CFWheels

[atspear]

I have a server that has been running for a long time with no changes, and now out of nowhere I'm getting the error below. I'm running Lucee 5.3.10 and CFWheels 2.3. I have no clue where to start troubleshooting this and any help would be appreciated.

Lucee 5.3.10.120 Error (expression)

This sounds - to me - like a symptom of CFWheels's incorrect approach to restarting itself (from the reload URL param).

See #1259.

If you reload the app that way, other requests will try to execute whilst onApplicationStart is running, during which the application is not in a completely initialised state. With really bad timing this can leave the app in a completely unstable state which will persist until the app is restarted properly (CFML server restart, or calling applicationStop, and then letting the app reload properly.

When calling reload one needs to make sure the app is not processing any other traffic, basically.

Thanks for the reply. Something like this happened a long time ago and I only remember that changing out the caching settings and clear some of the caches in Lucee fixed the issue, but that didn't work this time. I ended up commenting out the "$loadPlugins()" call in onapplicationstart.cfm in the wheels directory. It baffling because the server hasn't been touched in so long but something obviously changed. Luckily I'm not using plugins with CFWheels, so this fix is fine but I'd love to figure out the root cause.
