I have been researching this for quite a while now, and no matter what
I do I can not seem to turn debugging on and off via url parameters.
not sure how to trouble this, but I do not have a password set, and I
am using the example params for the url:
?debugmode=false
never works.
I’ve had this on occasion though I’ve never figured out what the cause was.

Hmm, never seen that before. The debug mode uses a vapor cookie on your browser, check if the cookie is being set.

the cookie gets created however, it never seems to do anything 
Weird, I can’t reproduce this though, something has to be weird there.

I had to add a block to my config.cfc to fix this
if(
isDefined(“url.fwreinit”) AND
url.fwreinit Eq sSetting.AppCore.AppKey AND
isDefined(“url.debugmode”) AND
isBoolean(url.debugmode) AND
isDefined(“url.debugpassword”) AND
url.debugpassword Eq sSetting.AppCore.AppKey
){
sSetting.AppDevMode.AppDebugMode=url.debugmode;
}
I use a struct to set the settings inside of the config file read from an ini file
Chris Hough
@Luis and company, here is what my full config looks like, I had to
use the URL section above to get this to work as intended:
<!---
structures/arrays to create for configuration
- coldbox (struct)
- settings (struct)
- conventions (struct)
- environments (struct)
- ioc (struct)
- models (struct)
- debugger (struct)
- mailSettings (struct)
- i18n (struct)
- bugTracers (struct)
- webservices (struct)
- datasources (struct)
- layoutSettings (struct)
- layouts (array of structs)
- cacheBox (struct)
- interceptorSettings (struct)
- interceptors (array of structs)
- modules (struct)
- logBox (struct)
Available objects in variable scope
- controller
- logBoxConfig
- appMapping (auto calculated by ColdBox)
Required Methods
- configure() : The method ColdBox calls to configure the
application.
Optional Methods
- detectEnvironment() : If declared the framework will call it and it
must return the name of the environment you are on.
- {environment}() : The name of the environment found and called by
the framework.

?debugmode=true&debugpass=@pass@
This will turn in on if you are using a debug password, which it looks like you do based on below.
Curt
do I have to include the “@” around the password when passed in the url?
No, sorry, that was just to indicate it was a variable.
Curt
oh, I tried that multiple times correctly, and it would never shut off, ever.
I noticed the config caching was set to false, changing it had no affect
Chris Hough
Is event caching enabled? Would that setting affect anything?
Nolan Dubeau
Load *.*,8,1
event caching is set to false
any thoughts?
I don’t have anything new to add that could solve it.
For me, I know I have to run the “?debugmode=true&debugpass=secret” two times to enable and two times to disable. Perhaps you just need to run the command twice like me?
-A
I hear you, thank you man.
I just wish I could remove that if statement in my config
That was a bug in 3.0 though
Luis -
Am I crazy or is still a bug in the current version?
I am holding off upgrading to 3.5 until it’s out of beta.
Hi Chris, I can get in and out of debug mode with once time now.
3.5 should be final in the repo unless we get more bug fixes?

I will let you know if this goes away in 3.5, but I wonder if it has to do with how I am setting up my config.cfc.
hmmm…
