I have some CFCs that extend like the following

 

YN extends Boolean

Boolean extends Type

Type extends Property

 

Object

-----Property ( has init() )

---------- Type ( does not have init() )

--------------- Boolean ( has init() )

-------------------- YN ( has init() )

 

When I instantiate the object YN and pass the argument “arguments.value” the following “Y”

Arguments.value is not passed to super!

 

If I do a dump of arguments.value before we call super.init() in YN the argument is there, which is fine because its passed to that object.

 

If I do a dump of arguments.value before we call super.init() in Boolean the argument is undefined, which is fine.

 

Type does not have an init() (but if I add one and do a dump the argument is still undefined), so the init() method of Property is really called by Boolean.

 

This is where it gets weird, if I do a dump of arguments.value before we call super.init() in Property it tells me that the value of arguments.value is “String”, exactly that “String”!.. And this is not because I have forgotten to put hashes around the argument ( dump( arguments );abort(); - don’t worry these methods are present in the parent )

 

I went through the final object Object to see if that had any arguments called “value” that was set to “String” but nope!

What is going on here?

 

I searched the whole project for every occurrence of “String” to see if that value was set anywhere, and the answer is no.

 

There is a cfargument

        <cfargument

            name="value"

            type="any"

            required="no" />

in the init method of the object Property but as you can see its set to required=”no” and there is no value passed to it from the sub class.

Now it gets even weirder, if I remove the above argument and still dump #arguments# the value argument is gone but instead it says there is an argument named “2”…..!!!

 

Of course people are going to say “value” is a reserved word, but I couldn’t find it on the reserved list unless I looked at the wrong list??
