CFDump ShowUDFs Behavior
James Moberg
Posted on April 5, 2022
I was writing some unit tests to identify the output of CFDump under different conditions and discovered that Adobe and Lucee treat the showUDFs
parameter differently. I also use 3rdparty CF_Dump since it provides consistent behavior between CFML platforms. Since I've written my own internal Dumplite CFTag/CFC, I wanted to evaluate how it was already being supported before I updated how it worked.
Adobe:
- Hides struct keys
- Shows array elements with UDF (is this a bug?)
Lucee:
- Displays struct value as
<UDF>
- Displays array element as
<UDF>
CF_Dump
- Displays struct key with empty value
- Displays array element with empty value
<cfscript>
function myUDF(){return now();}
test = [
a: [1, myUDF, 3]
,b: myUDF
];
writeDump(var=test, showUDFs=false, label="showUDFs=false");
writeDump(var=test, showUDFs=true, label="showUDFs=true");
</cfscript>
