Brian, Ah, I see. It's a shortcoming of the plugin that it doesn't support the javascript that CF emits. So if you're using expand=no to keep the dumps initially collapsed, that won't work. that's why calls to <cfset debug(mydata)> always return the dump expanded.
Here's why the plugin behaves this way: CF generates the javascript and onclick=toggle stuff based, it seems to me anyway, on the user-agent header. the plugin talks to cf using apache axis 1.4, and the user-agent header with axis is "axis/1.4" or something like that. so CF doesn't recognize that as a browser and thus keeps the output tight. A long time ago, this is probably mid summer of 2007, the plugin used to change the user-agent header so that CF would give back everything. it worked nicely... for me. At that time, bill and i were the only ones using this stuff, and it looked like the user-agent change was causing him problems. it looked like axis was actually not overwriting the user-agent header, but passing 2 user-agent headers. Now, some of bill's other problems at the time were related to ntlm authentication, so possibly the double user agent and the ntlm weren't playing nicely and it was a compounded problem. I tried figuring out how to get axis to just send one user agent, but to no avail. I got no response from the axis forums at that time, either. possibly because axis 1.4 is pretty old and everyone uses axis2 anyway. I don't know. Now, I see some possibilities here: 1) i add back the code to trump the user-agent, release a new version of the plugin, and you can see how it works for you. If it works, then maybe the thing to do is add a flag into the mxunit preferences to tell the plugin that it's OK to change the user-agent header. that way, if it does mess people up, they can turn the flag off and live with the current behavior. 2) mighty tom jordahl is reading these forums and responds with "hey, dumbass, here's how you change the user-agent header in axis 1.4". 3) I was wrong all along about the nature of bill's problem and i can just add the code back and see how it goes. i'll try to find some time later to confirm the behavior I remember seeing is in fact the behavior I saw. One thing I can't do is switch to Axis2. The reason is that we've tried pretty hard to keep mxunit working with 6.1+. Axis2 does not support soap-encoded web services, which is the only kind of service 6.1 supports since they didn't add doc-literal support until MX7. Also, as a side note, one other problem with using cfdump instead of <cfset debug(mydata)> is that if the test fails, anything that was output with dump or cfoutput won't show up; but if you use debug(), any debug calls before the failure will still be included in the resultant output. If you're interested in trying out a version of the plugin with the user-agent changed, let me know and i'll put one out and we'll see how it goes.
