debugging in cfscript

hi, when debugging with coldfusion tags i use the cfoutput and cfdump tags alot but how can i use these tags and the cfabort tag within cfscript, or how can i get the same effect as these tags? thanks richard

Depending on where you are in the script it could be as simple as ending the cfscript then putting in a cfdump and then beginning the cfscript again.  I often debug small problems within cfscripts by using writeoutput functions for the values on if statements and other things of that nature.  I suppose you could create a function that simple dumps out whatever you fed it so that you could put inline dumps. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

<cffunction name="cf_abort" output="false" returntype="void">      <cfabort /> </cffunction> <cffunction name="cf_dump" output="false" returntype="void">      <cfargument name="objToDump" type="any" required="false" default="" />      <cfdump var="#arguments.objToDump#" /> </cffunction> <cfscript>      var myArray = newArray(1);      myArray[1] = "Larry";      myArray[2] = "Moe";      myArray[3] = "Curly";      cf_dump(myArray);      cf_abort; </cfscript> ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

A common practice is to create a udf that wraps the functionality of a cf tag, so: <cffunction name="dump">     <cfargument name="var" type="any" required="true">     <cfargument name="expand" type="boolean" required="false" default="true">     <cfargument name="label" type="string" required="false" default="">     <cfdump var="#arguments.var#" expand="#arguments.expand#" label="#arguments.label#"> </cffunction> <cfscript>    aArray = ArrayNew(1);    aArray[3] = 'fooey';    dump(aArray); </cfscript> Dominic -- Blog it up: http://fusion.dominicwatson.co.uk
