RE: debugging complaint

2005-10-31 Thread Hugo Ahlenius

It should be possible to find the 4.5 era cf_dump custom tag (the
predecessor to cfdump). There might even be multiple implementations out
there. Should work fine for arrays, structures and simple vars.

Why not just do that dynamically.

cfif NOT IsDebugMode()
doctype
/cfif

i've seen where doctypes will remove all colors from a cfdump (border colors
and background colors), rendering it highly ineffective.

removing the doctype declaration normally fixes this for me.  (of course, it
goes back in prior to going to production) :)

Others have already answered, but another idea is to just write your
own cfdump. It wouldn't be too hard. :) Another idea - write a custom
tag that calls cfdump and all your tag does is a regex on the result
of cfdump - ie - a wrapper. Just some random ideas.:)

 actually cfdump is just a regular custom tag, altho it is encrypted.
But you could effectively replace it.

debugging complaint

2005-10-28 Thread Bryan Stevenson

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).  So we get the standard argument XYZ passed to method ABC is not of 
type numeric.  OK...so at least we know we've passed something 
inappropriate...but what the heck is so hard about stating what was actually 
passed!!!??? ;-)

In the above situation you then have to go and add a cfdump to see what exactly 
is getting passed to the method...yet another time waster that on the surface 
seems pretty dang easy to add to debugging output.

OK...rant's over...thanks for listening...and if anyone can explain whyy this 
would be hard to add...lemme know ;-)

Cheers
