Problem Description:
In CF10 and earlier a boolean value woudl be permissable as a value for a numeric argument to a function. As of CF11 this has changed
Steps to Reproduce:
http://trycf.com/gist/2554455579bb316e7da4d15de2d3f0c4/acf11?theme=monokai
(run it on CF10, CF11, CF2016 and Lucee to see the difference)
{code:java}
<cfscript>
function f(required numeric x){
writeOutput(x.getClass().getName());
writeOutput("<br>");
writeOutput(x+1);
writeOutput("<br>");
}
try {
f(true);
} catch (any e){
writeOutput("#e.message# #e.detail#");
writeOutput("<br>");
}
writeOutput("<hr>");
f(now());
writeOutput("<hr>");
n = true + 1;
writeOutput(n);
writeOutput("<br>");
</cfscript>
{code}
Actual Result:
The X argument passed to the f function is not of type numeric. If the component name is specified as a type of this argument, it is possible that either a definition file for the component cannot be found or is not accessible.
Expected Result:
For it not to error. A boolean should be valid for a numeric arg
Any Workarounds:
Not relevant
There seems to be no ticket for why this change was made in the first place. It'd be helpful to understand why the change was made.Attachments:
