Coldfusion: How to dump out arguments scope with cfthrow?
coldfusion
Solution
You could serialise it:
<cfthrow message="value = #serializeJson(arguments)#">
But I don't think you want that sort of thing showing up on the screen.
I'd log it if I was you (so same notion, just `<cflog>` before the `<cfthrow>`, and put the arguments in the log entry, and in the `<cfthrow>` just put a brief explanation of the error (you should also use a TYPE attribute, for subsequent handling of the exception that you've raised.
Problem
After my form submits I am calling a controller method that runs an orm EntitySave in my cfc. I would like to dump out the arguments before I save my data via ORM just to visually validate those are indeed the values I want to save in the database. So when I use this ``` <cfthrow message="value = #arguments#"> ``` I am getting this: ``` Error: Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values. ``` I understand you are not allowed to do this with complex objects, so in those cases I would use `<cfdump>` but I can't find a way to dump in a `<cfthrow>`. I am sure there is a better way to accomplish this. I have also tried doing a `<cfmail>` to myself which works amazingly but the email will take a minute or two. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am currently checking into ValidateThis.
