ColdFusion displays the trace output on the page at the
tag does not display any output if it is inside a
cftrace
The tag executes only if you select Enable Debugging on the ColdFusion MX
cftrace
Administrator Debugging Settings page. To display the trace results in the debugging output, you
must also specify Tracing Information on the Debugging Settings page; otherwise, the trace
information is logged and inline traces are displayed, but no trace information appears in the
debugging output.
Note: When you use in-line trace tags, ColdFusion sends the page to the browser after all page
processing is completed, but before it displays the debugging output from the debug template. As a
result, if an error occurs after a trace tag but before the end of the page, ColdFusion might not display
the trace for that tag.
An in-line trace messages look like the following:
