Dump or list all ColdFusion Variables in all scopes.

Dump or list all ColdFusion Variables in all scopes.

On some occasions you may run into issues where you need a variable but your not sure what scope it’s in. Well I’ve found the code below extremely helpful for finding what scope the variable I’m looking for is in.

	<cfdump var="#getPageContext().getBuiltInScopes()#"/>

Basically the function, “getPageContext().getBuiltInScopes()” will list all variables in all scopes.

Enjoy! :)

CF9 [cfdump var="#getPageContext().getCFScopes()#"/]

Nice but in CF9 it dumps an array or structs with no indication of the scope name of each array index (session, url, cgi, etc.). It only dumps a subset of scopes as well. It looks like: [1] = CGI [2] = ?? [3] = URL [4] = FORM [5] = COOKIE [6] = CLIENT

This is great...thanks for pointing it out!

Strangely, my getPageContext has no getBuiltInScopes. Running CF9, pretty sure no .01 update on the box I was testing with. It does of course have a *lot* of other very interesting functions, but no getBuiltInScopes. Will poke around a bit, report back if I find anything worth reporting.

Ah ha, I have it in getCFScopes: writeDump(getPageContext().getCFScopes());

In Railo you can do That dumps out all the scopes a variablename can be found in. Gert

Gert Franz - May 17, 2011 at 6:49 PM

Seems to eat all the brackets... well then: writeDump(getMetaData('variablename', true)); Gert

This tag is not longer available on versions of Coldfusion 9.0.0 or greater... The new tag is this tag only outputs local variables and queries. You may also need to increase the requesttimeout on the page using the following tag

Sorry... It looks like my comment was stripped out.. here is the tag you need to dump getPageContext().getVariableScope()
