RE: CFMX UDF Output whitespace - possible bug

RE: CFMX UDF Output whitespace - possible bug
Given that MX broke lots of CF5 code , in some cases without any meaningful purpose for doing so (the new Arguments class vs. the arguments array in CF5 being case in point), I don't see why that would be an issue for them. How did your code break? If you were using arguments as an array (as it was in cf5), how did it not work in MX? Another case of CFMX's new functionality not being throught all the way through (or at least not through to the same conclusions). Hrm... Someone thought it through, because according to the documentation (I'm checking the livedocs) the output attribute is supposed to be ignored accept within a CFC. The only attributes that aren't supposed to be ignored outside of a CFC are name and returntype. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/cfmxdocs/CFML_Reference/Tags-pt 145.jsp#285245 7 So it's either a functional bug, or it's a documentation bug, but it is a bug. :) Agreed - but it's a doc bug only. -Ray ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Subject: CFMX UDF Output whitespace - possible bug
I'm working on a client project running CF MX on Linux
What seems to be happening is that any time we use a UDF in a
cfoutput, like
cfoutput
div|#request.ffa.appname#|/div
div|#request.ff.alttext(1)#|/div
div|#left(request.ff.structtourl(attributes),1)#|/div
/cfoutput
We get an extra space character prepended to the string
returned by the UDF, i.e. the previous snippet results in this output:
|ourappname|
| Edit|
| m|
Has anyone seen anything like this before? It seems to be a
new development, because I'm pretty sure I was using UDF's in
cfoutput for url variables without problems last week.
I've got this diagnostic info:
SERVER_SOFTWARE=Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux)
mod_ssl/2.8.7 OpenSSL/0.9.6b DAV/1.0.3 PHP/4.0.6 mod_perl/1.26
not sure where that's from -- a coworker handed it to me...
a dump of the server variables looks like this:

I have seen the same problem with CFMX, although after
realizing what was happening I made changes to remove it's
significance. It only affects UDFs defined with CFFUNCTION,
not via CFSCRIPT. The space is NOT returned by the function,
it is generated by the function, so using trim() doesn't
work, and calls to left() and the like don't use the space either.
Here's a test case:
cffunction name=ucase_tag
cfargument name=s /
cfreturn s /
/cffunction
cfscript
function ucase_script(s) {
return s;
}
/cfscript
cfset theString = Hello, World! /

RE: CFMX UDF Output whitespace - possible bug
Have you had a look at the HTML markup? I would assume there *is* a big
long string of carriage returns and spaces in front of the returned value
in there.
But content inside the cffunction shouldn't be output unless it's
within a writeoutput().
You mean if you were Macromedia, that's how you'd write it? One could argue
that the writeOutput() is implied by your not employing the output attribute
of the cffunction tag.

RE: CFMX UDF Output whitespace - possible bug
content within cffunction is displayed like normal content by default.
setting the output attribute to true will make it execute as if the
CFFUNCTION tag internally included a CFOUTPUT. Setting output to false will
make everything be hidden, like using CFSILENT.
The reason (i think) you get one space is that CF compresses all runs of CF
tags and interim whitespace into a single space on the HTML stream. So,
CFFUNCTION is behaving in perfect consistency with the rest of CF, although
I think it should be treated as a special case, and not output anything
unless the output option is explicitly set to true. 'course, it's too late
for that, since it'll undoubtedly break existing code. Another case of
CFMX's new functionality not being throught all the way through (or at least
not through to the same conclusions).

If that were the case, it should have a big long string of
carriage returns
and spaces in front of the returned value ... Though I suppose I could try
using cfsilent to test the theory... But content inside the cffunction
shouldn't be output unless it's within a writeoutput() function.
Is this a known bug?
Hi Isaac,
It's not a bug. It's that HTML markup inside a
cffunction is displayed
onscreen. Try this:
cffunction name=test
Hello,
cfreturn Isaac
/cffunction
cfoutput#test()#/cfoutput

Can you show us the code? I'm not seeing that with this
example:
cfscript
function foo() { return 1; }
/cfscript
cfoutput
|#foo()#|

Subject: CFMX UDF Output whitespace - possible bug
I'm working on a client project running CF MX on Linux
What seems to be happening is that any time we use a UDF
in a
cfoutput, like
cfoutput
div|#request.ffa.appname#|/div
div|#request.ff.alttext(1)#|/div
div|#left(request.ff.structtourl(attributes),1)#|/div
/cfoutput
We get an extra space character prepended to the string
returned by the UDF, i.e. the previous snippet results in
this output:
|ourappname|
| Edit|
| m|
Has anyone seen anything like this before? It seems to be
a
new development, because I'm pretty sure I was using
UDF's in
cfoutput for url variables without problems last week.
I've got this diagnostic info:
SERVER_SOFTWARE=Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux)
mod_ssl/2.8.7 OpenSSL/0.9.6b DAV/1.0.3 PHP/4.0.6
mod_perl/1.26
not sure where that's from -- a coworker handed it to
me...
a dump of the server variables looks like this:

It's not a bug. Although I recommend against it - you can output directly from a UDF.

Given that MX broke lots of CF5 code , in some cases without any meaningful
purpose for doing so (the new Arguments class vs. the arguments array in CF5
being case in point), I don't see why that would be an issue for them.
Another case of CFMX's new functionality not
being throught all the way through (or at least
not through to the same conclusions).
Hrm... Someone thought it through, because according to the documentation
(I'm checking the livedocs) the output attribute is supposed to be ignored
accept within a CFC. The only attributes that aren't supposed to be ignored
outside of a CFC are name and returntype.

So it's either a functional bug, or it's a documentation bug, but it is a
bug. :)
Thanks for the info tho.
