Redirect in Non-Executed Code

[kodemonki]

I have a scheduled task that calls the page: Reports/kpi/random_report_requests.cfm (just like that, copied the extension from CF Administrator)

I start the code like this:
<cfif not isDefined("test")>
<cfset test = 1>
</cfif>

And during the scheduled task everything works fine until this block of code:
<cfif not test>
<cflocation url="../dgim/ap_performance.cfm">
</cfif>

The page is redirected to ap_performance.cfm and those processes are run. Does cflocation override procedural code? This is in CF4.5

Thanks!

In your case it looks like test = 1

In the code <cfif not test> it returns 0 and your include must not work.

If it works this would be because of the version of CF and handling the cfif block.

I would suggest to put direct reference and compare with 1 as

<cfif test NEQ 1>

I hope this helps.

Oguz, thank you for your reply, but I use this syntax regularly and have never had an issue like this, but I have never called cflocation inside a statement like that either.

I know there are already some issues with CFlocation but this is something weird.

You can try to use JavaScript for page forwarding instead of cflocation.
