Debug pane features
The debug pane has the following features:
•
You can expand and collapse each debugging information category, such as Exceptions, by
clicking on the plus or minus sign (+ or -) in front of each category heading. You can also
expand and collapse each scope data type display in the Scoped Variables section.
•
The top of the debug pane displays the URL of the application page being debugged (as
identified by the cgi.script_name variable). Click this link to refresh the page and display the
debugging information that results. (You can also refresh the page and debugging information
by using your browser's Refresh button or key.)
•
The debug pane also displays a box where you can enter a page pathname or URL. When you
click the Go button, ColdFusion processes the page and the debug pane is updated with the
debugging information for the new page.
