Am I the only one that thinks this is a bug in CF11?

New Here ,
Feb 19, 2016 Feb 19, 2016

I would love some feedback here from Adobe on whether or not this is a bug. If so, I will definitely report it but wanted to start here in the forums. Take a look at the cfscript code below:

array = [ {key1: "myKey"} ];

idx = 1;

tmp = array[idx];

writeDump( var=(array[1].key1 ?: ""), label="Prints 'myKey'" );

writeDump( var=(tmp.key1 ?: ""), label="Prints 'myKey'" );

writeDump( var=(array[idx].key1 ?: ""), label="Prints '[Empty String]'" );

The gist of what I am doing here is using the "elvis" operator to try and evaluate an object in realtime, and if the object cannot be evaluated, providing a default of an empty string. If you run this code, you will see that the first 2 methods of referencing array index 1 evaluate correctly and output my text but the 3rd does not. I realize that it would be better to check for the existence of a structure key explicitly but I am trying to use this approach for a massive refactor of some legacy code. It is stumping me as to why the 3rd method does not work so any input here would be greatly appreciated. As mentioned in the topic, I am using ColdFusion 11.

Thanks,

Micah

I cannot get the third item to work in CF11 update 7.

I tried variations in syntax, but they all fail.

Cheers

Eddie

This is an issue in CF11 & we have fixed this for the latest version of ColdFusion i.e ColdFusion2016.

Thanks,

I assume this will be fixed for (still supported) CF11?

@Suchsing,

Thanks for the response. As @haxtbh inquired below, when can we expect this

to be fixed in CF11?

Thanks,

Micah

There was a big implementation change that we did for elvis . We might not be pushing it for CF11.

Thanks,

Suchika.

suchsing‌ - This could be a deal-breaker for my company. Can you send me a patch for CF11 or provide me a workaround that gives me the same functionality?

Thanks,

Micah

Back-porting the fix for CF 11 would not be possible as the underlying architecture was changed ... You may upgrade to ColdFusion 2016 to get the fix.

Thanks,

Suchika.

The company that makes the Jive forum should install a DISLIKE button.

Is Adobe going to give jmicah‌ CF2016 for free?  Or at least a 95% discount??  Adobe has raised the price for CF to a ridiculous level.  If there is a known bug in CF11 and it was fixed for 2016 but not CF11, that could be perceived as extortion.
