tracker issue : CF-3037797

Problem:

Calling a UDF passed as an argument fails. This breaks Transfer ORM!

Prior to Centaur Beta 1, the following code worked:

<cfscript>
function test(arg) { return "hello " & arg; }
function foo(fn) { return arguments.fn("caller"); }
writeOutput( foo( test ) );
</cfscript>

Now it fails on the call to arguments.fn("caller") saying:

The fn method was not found.

Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types, or the fn method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot decipher reliably. ColdFusion found 0 methods that matched the provided arguments. If this is a Java object and you verified that the method exists, you may need to use the javacast function to reduce ambiguity.

Marking this CRITICAL since it breaks a widely-used framework.



Method:

Run this code:

<cfscript>
function test(arg) { return "hello " & arg; }
function foo(fn) { return arguments.fn("caller"); }
writeOutput( foo( test ) );
</cfscript>

Result:

The fn method was not found.

Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types, or the fn method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot decipher reliably. ColdFusion found 0 methods that matched the provided arguments. If this is a Java object and you verified that the method exists, you may need to use the javacast function to reduce ambiguity.
