When using ?: to set a default string value containing an inline CFML var it returns blank. If you concatenate the string & var it works. Example:
<cfscript>
test = "VALUE THAT SHOULD OUTPUT";
result1 = result1 ?: "did it work?... #test#";
result2 = result2 ?: "did it work?... " & test;
result3 = result3 ?: "did it work?... #notevenvalidCFML#"; // this should throw an error
// for comparison, using the isNull() with ternary operator
result4 = !isNull( result4 ) ? result4 : "did it work?... #test#";
writeDump({
"result1": result1,
"result2": result2,
"result3": result3,
"result4": result4
});
</cfscript>
Expected result:
result3 should have thrown an error.
Missed error aside:
result1, result2 should output: did it work?... VALUE THAT SHOULD OUTPUT
Actual result:
result3 does not throw error
result1 returns: "did it work?..."
result2 and result4 properly returns: "did it work?... VALUE THAT SHOULD OUTPUT"
