the component function with visibility problem persists

Question

It has looked like the problem was solved at CF 2021. After the 2nd. update, the same problem come back!

I've created a simple component containing a private and a public function.

component{

private numeric function f_private(){

return 12345;

}

public struct function f_public(){

local['s_test']={

'v_test':f_private()+9876

};

return local['s_test'];

}

Then a simple page that calls the component itself...

<cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding="utf-8">

<cfscript>

variables['c_test']=createObject('component','path.to.cfcFile');

variables['s_test']=variables['c_test']['f_public']();

writeDump(var=variables);

</cfscript>

Testing the cfc calling, it generates an error:

Variable F_PRIVATE is undefined.

The error occurred in C:/Websites/test.lab/wwwroot/path/to/_cfcFile.cfc: line 8

6 : 	public struct function f_public(){
7 : 		local['s_test']={
8 : 			'v_test':f_private()+9876
9 : 		};
10 : 		return local['s_test'];

I don't think the problem is with the component. I think the problem is this line:

variables['s_test']=variables['c_test']['f_public']();

The right-hand-side is not quite correct. It does not invoke the function properly. The way it now reads, the function is variables.c_test.f_public, which is not entirely correct.

Correct is:

variables['s_test']=variables['c_test'].f_public();

@I.am.Sceiffer, I think you've misunderstood the intention in my reply. I was simply pointing out that since you feel your problem worked BEFORE Cf2021, then you should file a bug report. That's how Adobe would know some that worked now is broken.

The rest of what you said in reply to me suggests you didn't understand why I said this. I'll leave you and others to debate/consider the rest of your points.

As always, I was just trying to help.
