Debugging coldbox application with CFbuilder

Just a quick question.

Can you use CFBuilder to walk through a CB application line by line?

I am assuming this answer is yes however, I can’t.

Its possible I may have CFB configured wrong or there is something wrong with my CFB install but I wanted to ask the question here first before continuing on.

What happens is I am setting a breakpoint inside of a function and that break point gets ignored. I have used Fusion Debug and have been able to do this with other CF code inside of CFC with
no issue.

Thanks,

Mal

This is a CF thing rather than a CB issue. Make sure you connect and startup the line debugger in your cf administrator

Hi Luis,

Yes, I have that set in the CF Admin.

For example.

Say I set a breakpoint at line 17 in the app.cfc

*** Breakpoint set here.

The debugger quits before it gets to the cffunction. The page just processes like I told it to skip to the next breakpoint or to continue processing.
This is why I’m puzzled. When I used Fusion Debug, I could step through the code line by line until I hit an error or the page finished.

I didn’t know if this was:

a) Something I didn’t have configured properly
b) A Bug in CFB
c) Not possible (not likely)

That is a ColdFusion Builder problem, I have logged this as a bug over 12 months ago and yet to see it fixed.

Thanks,

I just needed confirmation!

Phew!!

I have to switch back to CFEclipse every time I want to step debug - it’s a real pain!

I’m working with ColdBox Framework using CFEclipse. I want to do step-debugging can you please tell that which tool may help me? I’ve integrated CBDebugger but not sure if that can do step-debugging as well or not.
