RE: CFTRY/CFCATCH exposing CF errors?
Matt, We also had this type of issue a while ago, were cftry/cfcatch didn't suppress the error. We tried everything but with no results on the cf side. We did a workaround in the presentation layer (the logic consisted in outputting raw xml strings). It was definitely a bug, but we couldn't reproduce it in other scenarios.

Re: SOLVED: Re: CFTRY/CFCATCH exposing CF errors?
I've been playing around with this and I see a problem can't solve. I can force a raw CF error to screen, regardless of whether you have try/catch, a site-wide error handler or cferror (or all three). I start out with this /Application.cfm cfapplication name=wazzup cfoutput cfloop query=haha#haha.notexists#/cfloop /cfoutput which has a query loop to a nonexistent query. I get a raw cf error. Fine. Then I change the file to hold a cferror statement and a try/catch cftry cferror type=REQUEST template=oops.html cfapplication name=wazzup cfoutput cfloop query=haha#haha.notexists#/cfloop /cfoutput cfcatch type=Any cfinclude template=oops.cfmcfabort /cfcatch /cftry The catch template kicks in and takes precedence. Fine again. If I remove try/catch, leave in the cferror statement and plug in a sitewide error handler then the site-wide error handler is *ignored* and the cferror statement fires. That was an ugly surprise, but either by luck or design (I forget to be honest) I only use cferror on my own servers for validation, but on the commercial stuff I use it as a backup as described. Better write some more docs (it makes sense since CF is just doing what I told it). Removing the CFERROR statement caused the site-wide template to finally fire. Now for the real nasty. If I deliberately malform a CF tag like this I can force the error to come out raw again (note the unclosed /cfoutput): cftry cferror type=REQUEST template=oops.html cfapplication name=wazzup cfoutput#cgi.http_user_agent#/cfoutput cfcatch type=Any cfinclude template=oops.cfmcfabort /cfcatch /cftry Then the cfcatch routine is ignored, as is the cferror statement. The site-wide error handler fires AND the raw cf error is displayed. My site-wide 'handler' is below.

RE: SOLVED: Re: CFTRY/CFCATCH exposing CF errors?
Correct me if I misunderstood what you are getting with your last example but from what I can tell the explanation below seems reasonable to me Because your last example doesn't even get compiled due to the closing being missing on the cfoutput, CF doesn't see any code that you have in that template at all... Therefore the cferror and the cftry block are not in memory to be fired... It's all about the timing of the error in the CF process. If its at compile time then there is very little you can do to stop the raw error... If it is a logic error in an otherwise valid template then the error handling you code will run.

Re: SOLVED: Re: CFTRY/CFCATCH exposing CF errors?
I've got part of the answer. Its a bug in ColdFusion. In the previous example I created an error just in front of the CFCATCH statement, so the value of error.message is Invalid token 'c' found on line 6 at column 2. Line 8 is cfcatch type=Any and is the highlighted line on the raw CF error message. If instead I cause the error to the opening cfoutput instead of the closing one just before the cfcatch line, like this: cfoutput#cgi.http_user_agent#/cfoutput The cfcatch template doesn't fire, but the site-wide error handler fires properly and doesn't display a raw message. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: SOLVED: Re: CFTRY/CFCATCH exposing CF errors?
Paul, What I was getting at is not that the template wasn't doing its catch thing due to malformed CF. I understand why that won't compile. The issue I found is that I can also cause the sidte-wide error handler to break as well, but break in an odd way that exposes a raw CF error message AFTER it runs. The site-wide handler runs some CF, and then has a cfabort in it for good measure. Only it doesn't cfabort. It runs its CF (which in this case displays the error and/or catch scopes) and THEN displays the raw cf error message. This is a separate template from the one with the malformed code. Further, by altering the location of the error I can get the site-wide error handler to function properly again. Its not something that is going to happen often, I think. The message I suppose is never screw up a CF tag before a CFCATCH or your raw error is going onscreen. I did all this on a copy of 6.1. Is this by chance an issue at all in CF7? -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: SOLVED: Re: CFTRY/CFCATCH exposing CF errors?
Are you declaring your site wide error handlers in the application file or are you declaring them in the CFADMIN area? The thing with the errors that you are creating is that the two mods to the code you made will have very different results and I don't think the error handlers that are declared in your pages will ever fire under the circumstances you are describing... Also I just spotted this cferror type=REQUEST template=oops.html cfcatch type=Any cfinclude template=oops.cfmcfabort /cfcatch You are referencing an oops.html and an oops.cfm file in the same template as different error handlers... Is that correct???

Re: SOLVED: Re: CFTRY/CFCATCH exposing CF errors?
I am setting up the site-wide error handler in the CF Administrator. Its called whammo.cfm and its code is displayed in my original post on this. Then there's the try/catch error handler. Thats oops.cfm and its declared at the bottom of /Application.cfm. It has the same code as whammo.cfm only it displays 'oops' instead of 'whammo' so I can be sure which template is firing. Then there's oops.html. Its just an html display page whose sole purpose is to tell me when what I'm seeing is coming from cferror. I'd do more of course in a real app and not a demo like this. The thing with the errors that you are creating is that the two mods to the code you made will have very different results and I don't think the error handlers that are declared in your pages will ever fire under the circumstances you are describing... I know. I'm not expecting them to. I'm expecting the site-wide error handler to pick it up. And it is. *But* its also exposing raw ColdFusion messages in one specific circumstance. *Thats* the deal here: Raw errors can make it to the screen even if you have a site-wide error handler, which is never supposed to happen. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:201957 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Re: SOLVED: Re: CFTRY/CFCATCH exposing CF errors?
And if you can create a relatively self-contained reproducible test case with instructions, send it to me and I'll test it on various CF versions and if it's still broken in CF7, I'll file a bug!

Re: SOLVED: Re: CFTRY/CFCATCH exposing CF errors?
OK its very simple code. I'll send it over. Mostly what I posted already. But it doesn't happen on my live server. Only my dev box here on my desktop, where I could put in a simple s/w error handler on a relatively clean system. The live box is probably better patched than this desktop. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: SOLVED: Re: CFTRY/CFCATCH exposing CF errors?
Hi Matt, With your example, every which way I try it, the sitewide error handler runs and I don't see any extra raw error like you see in your screenshot... Both cfoutput#cgi.http_user_agent#/cfoutput and cfoutput#cgi.http_user_agent#/cfoutput simply dump the scopes you are referencing in the error handler code. I've tested this in MX 6.1 fully patched and MX 7.

Re: SOLVED: Re: CFTRY/CFCATCH exposing CF errors?
Your first example is correct cfcode. Maybe a typo when you wrote the msg? Should be cfoutput#cgi.http_user_agent#/cfoutput Just sent the files to Sean. Maybe he can find something it breaks on. I'm using CF Standard 6,1,0,63958. the box isn't quite a dev box. Its behind a firewall and I use it for dev and live work communicating with another cf and db server. Since its somewhat protected I've been a bit lazy. I bet I missed a patch or two on it. Weird. Glad I posted that pic so I don't look *completely* crazy. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: SOLVED: Re: CFTRY/CFCATCH exposing CF errors?
Sorry, my typo in the mail... I did try both combinations of incorrect code and didn't see a raw dump of an error. My CF version is reported as 6,1,0,hf56580_611 which is I believe as of now, a fully patched box. This is the dev box and it gets everything that production gets at least a week before unless the patch is uber urgent then its more like a few hours before Paul ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
