ColdFusion Builder bugs can be deleted without us knowing, my question is why!!
Tags: Coldfusion
When it comes to my work the one thing that must be on the top of my list of priorities is to be able to use the tools we purchase, to the full effectiveness.
It is also no secret that Adobe are using the same debugger extension in ColdFusion Builder that has been around since ColdFusion 8.
Since then many bugs have been logged against this and not one has ever been fixed, and now that ColdFusion Builder is in the works the number one thing I would have liked to have seen improved has again been left by the wayside.
I raised a bug for ColdFusion Builder that I just revisited, and found that the bug has actually been deleted by Adobe.
The question is why?
To give a better example of what the problem or the bug details are, it has to do with what we see in the line debugger. For those who do not use it, then I would encourgae you to begin looking into this feature.
But the number one problem I had with the debugger was that certain variables, especially those that are in the application scope or others would have the familiar
coldfusion.sql.QueryColumn@9e8b94
And yet instead of fixing the issue, which has annoyed me an maybe other developers for the last 2-4 years. Adobe have decided that they will just delete the ticket.
How the hell are we suppose to work when the most common bugs that are needed to be fixed, are thrown in the too hard basket and just deleted?

I gave up and just started CFDumping the Exception object and all scopes from within my Application.cfc's OnError method. Yesterday I went the extra step and pulled out the most important bits from each object and placed them towards the top as HTML. Found cfcontent useful for throwing away any previously generated HTML and making the error page cleaner. But all in all, I'm a noob for using the debugger since I've only gone through it about 3-4 times, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.
