Should it also look at the code in question and try to fix it for you? Should it suggest a page in the CFWACK where you can read about this particular error? How about if it included a quick-link which would automatically send a message to the HOF message board to ask others how to fix it? Maybe it should try and console you at the same time to make sure that you know it's really not your fault and you really are a good person...
I am, of course, only messing with you here Bryan. However, I do think that this is one of those sort of, "just how much IS enough" type of things. CF's error messages and debugging, in my opinion, are infinitely better than most languages/software. --Ferg Bryan Stevenson wrote: >Hey All, > >You know it just hit me that CF debugging could be so much more informative in >certain situations...and I wonder if anyone can tell me why it isn't?? ;-) > >Here's a great example to do with CFCs > >Pass an argument of type numeric to a method (but the value passed is not >numeric).
