Problem Description: Declaring local variables using the `var` keyword doesn't work within the body of a cfcatch tag.
Steps to Reproduce:
{code:java}
<cfset test()>
<cffunction name="test">
<cfset var immediateWithVar = true>
<cfset local.immediateWithLocal = true>
<cfdump var="#local#" label="local scope: immediate fn body">
<cftry>
<cfthrow message="error on purpose">
<cfcatch type="any">
<cfset var catchWithVar = true>
<cfset local.catchWithLocal = true>
<cfdump var="#local#" label="local scope: end of catch">
<cfdump var="#variables#" label="variables scope: end of catch">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cffunction>
{code}
Actual Result: The `catchWithVar` variable ends up in the `variables` scope rather than the `local` scope.
Expected Result: The `catchWithVar` variable should be declared within the `local` scope.
Any Workarounds: Use `local` instead of `var` to declare local function variables within the cfcatch's body.Attachments:
