Hi Andrew, Although I can't have said I use it with Virtual Hosts, as I do find them fairly problematic at times. But I can tell you that there are known issues with the debugger that Adobe are currently looking at, one of these are break points that don't fire.
Now this mainly applies to CFScript but I have even seen it happen in tag based code as well, where you fire a break point and it won't fire. But if you move the break point to somewhere else up in the code, it will fire with no problems. When you step through the code you will notice that it gets to a certain point and will exit the code template and return back to the previous calling template, this has been annoying me for the best part of 16 months or there about. I have even seen it not fire in the Application.cfc and you restart the ColdFusion server and it will then fire, I have even seen it actually look like it will fire but CFB doesn't acknowledge that it has received the request, and yet the page is still waiting in a connection to the server. I have even seen this happen a few times, and each time if you find the browser still trying to connect, and the IDE not responding, a huge amount of java.exe in the task list. Most people don't use the Debugger religiously like I do, and those that don't are usually the ones who are not seeing any problems with the debugger. I know it is of no comfort but here are a few video's that show some of the problems I was having. http://vimeo.com/19344071 - Shows the browser waiting for the server to finish, normally won't happen in a debug session. But you can also see that the debugger is not also firing. http://vimeo.com/19344478 - Shows how the debugger can skip lines in the code as well, this example is a cut down version of one I had noticed where the function was about 100-200 lines of code, with cfloops and cffile. When I tried to break on the cffile, it told me it couldn't reach it. When I moved the line further up, it certainly stopped on the line I just asked it too, but when stepping through the code it got to the first cfloop and then exited the function. I know there are serious issues with the line debugger, but others seem to have not found these problems. I put it down to that these people are not using the debugger on a daily basis, as part of the debug strategy and prefer to use the old cfdump method run page instead. I do challenge people to begin to use it on a daily, more consistent basis, and you will see a lot more complaints about the debugger than what there is. However the good news is that an Adobe Engineer is currently looking into a particular bug number that I raised, and with the added information that I have been able to give him hopefully we may see a fix for it. I would also like to stress that the problems with the debugger happen in both CFB Standalone, as well as a plugin into all version of Eclipse that I have tried. It also doesn't matter whether you have ColdFusion installed as standalone, multi-server or even whether it is stored remotely or not. I am able to duplicate all the problems on all these type of configurations. If you would like to contact me off list, I could email the engineer your details and ask him to have a word with you as well. To see if it is related to the problem he is currently looking at.
