This is tested on CF9,10 and 11 and was able to repro the issue. Test code to repro : #trace.cfm: <cfinvoke method="testFunc" returnvariable="returnVal" webservice="http://localhost:8500/bugs/CF-3184293/book.cfc?wsdl"> </cfinvoke> <cfdump var="#returnVal#"> #book.cfc : <cfcomponent> <cffunction name="testFunc" access="remote" returntype="string" output="no"> <cfset varvalue="haha"> <cftrace var="varvalue" text="doing equivalency check for variable" category="vars" inline="no"> <cfreturn "testString11"> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> To repro this case please enable request debugging output on CFadmin UI and also add IP as mentioned by Vamsee below. Another observation(made by Paul ): When the component's function was invoked using cfinvoke(through "component" attribute) instead as web service this issue did not occur.

CFTrace will not work for web service. We cannot send the debug information as part of SOAP response.

Can't the cftrace be logged when being the called remotely to the out-log? If you can't do it, at least have it ignored when being invoked remotely? E.g. check if Variable DEBUGGER is defined first in your code, and if it's not defined, then don't do anything?

While trying to trace, if the debugger is not available, we are not trying to trace the request. Instead we will return immediately. This will prevent the debugger is undefined error.
