Debugging Application Code

For debugging simple pages, using debugging information that is reported from the application server is adequate, but complex development tasks require a more powerful and immediate debugging interface.

The Interactive Debugger runs against dynamic pages on the ColdFusion Server. You can set breakpoints and step through the code to isolate and correct problems.

A tabbed debug window provides breakpoints, variables, recordsets, tag and page hierarchies, and page output. From these panes, you can set watches; manage breakpoints; and evaluate variables and expressions.

For more information, see the ColdFusion Administrator Debugging Options section in Advanced ColdFusion Server Administration.

For information on debugging ColdFusion applications, see Developing ColdFusion Applications.
