| Pete's Tip of the Week Do you know how to read a stack trace, or does it look like an encrypted jumble of characters from the Matrix? Knowing how to read one makes debugging easier. Here's how I read a CFML stack trace: First read the top line, this often contains the root cause of the error. Next scan down the stack trace until you see a file name ending in .cfc or .cfm, this tells you what line of your code caused the error. Finally go up line by line to understand why the error was thrown, or go down line by line if your not sure how your application might have gotten to this state. I wrote How to read a ColdFusion Stacktrace a few years ago, which goes deeper into this topic. |
