Problem Description:
With 2016 UPDATE 12 or 13 we discovered a strange and unpredictable behavior that only happens for certain Code structures.
It can best be explained by the following example.
Steps to Reproduce:
I was able to reproduce it with this simple pice of code:
<cffunction name="givemesomething">
<cfargument name="somestruct">
<cfreturn arguments.somestruct.device>
</cffunction>
<cfoutput>
<cfif isDefined("url.udid")>
<cfset local.device.udid = url.udid>
#givemesomething({ device = local.device.udid })#
<cfelse>
No udid given.
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
Call this code with the url-paramter udid=123
Actual Result:
Server Error with message:
Variable LOCAL is undefined.
Expected Result:
Output:
"123"
Any Workarounds:
If you remove the <cfelse> part this code works as expected. This makes absolutely no sense to me and it would break some of our code in production if we update to 12 or 13.Attachments:
