Problem Description:
An exception is thrown in a branch of a IF expression that should not be executed.
This bug has been introduced in update 12. Running the same test code below in ColdFusion 11 does not exhibit the bug.
Steps to Reproduce:
{code:java}
<cffunction name="test">
<cfif false>
<cfoutput>condition == true</cfoutput>
<cfreturn {
result = variables.nonExisting
}>
<cfelse>
<cfoutput>condition == false</cfoutput>
<cfreturn {
result = ""
}>
</cfif>
</cffunction>
<cfset test()>
{code}
Actual Result:
Exception is thrown: "Error [main] - Element NONEXISTING is undefined in VARIABLES."
Expected Result:
Successful execution of the script, output: "condition == false"
