I used to use the CF5 debugger, it was ok, but one major problem that affected us at the time was it didn’t support stepping into custom tags, and our whole application was just a whole lot of custom tags.   Ahh the good old days.

In fact, I used to give user group talks on it. There were issues, and times it didn't work. The bigger problem was simply that the feature was so hidden in Studio that most never found it. I made this very point to MM at the time, but they just felt that "no one uses it"--which to me was a chicken and egg problem. But support was dropped in MX, and of course now you have many in the CF community proudly saying, "we don't need no stinkin' debuggers". Seems a shame.   Sure, we can use CFOUTPUT, CFUMP, CFTRACE, CFLOG, and so on, but for some apps, there's nothing like a step debugger (or if we just had a trace tool to show where code went, like BD added with its incorrectly named CFDEBUGGER tag, which writes a file of the filenames, line numbers, and tags for all CFML lines in a request, and I've recommended that to the FD guys.)   Speaking of FD, and Dale's blog entry  he mentioned below, I'll note that I've added some comments there that those exploring the debugger may appreciate.   One of them was that, as you ask here about some things you wish it did, I've found the guys at Fusion-reactor to be EXTREMELY open to feedback, so share your comments with them. Cheers. And surely as others explore it they'll here more and more such things. I sense they're very responsive and will address any issues quickly.   /charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/     From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaussie@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Gary Crouch Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 11:24 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: FusionDebug Released Hi all   Has any one else got the Debug Eclipse package to work, I have! and I must say I am quite impressed. I must be as I raerly take time to reply to posts.   Does any one else remember that CFStudio vr 4.5 and 5 had debug tools, did any one ever get them to work?   My only complaint with this debug tool after a quick look is that Queries and Objects are not shown intuitively, if the inventor is out there, even just an icon change would be good. I am being picky though.   Ill be recommending we use it here at Morgans, not that that will mean we get it though.... LOL.   GC   On 8/14/06, darryl lyons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dale, Yes, I saw the release the other day as well. Looks pretty good. Let us know if you come across any issues with it.
