A new release candidate is available for my varScoper tool.

varscoper_1_30_RC.zip

Please download and run against your code. If you find any issues please report them at RIAForge.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on 1.21. At least 16 bugs were identified and are now fixed in the RC. All reported issues and corner cases have been added to the unit test to ensure that it won't break the same way in the future. Additionally, thank you to Pat Santora, who was responsible for a majority of the fixes.

Finally, based on feedback, I've included a cfset statement generator to generate blocks of cfset var statements. However, I take no responsibility for the consequences of using this generated code.

Does this new release properly var scope cffile, and cfhttp, etc?
# Posted By Andy Matthews | 6/26/08 6:49 AM
Thanks

cfhttp is now caught, cffile should have been working all along. So yes it should catch cffile and cfhttp.

Hey Mike, is there any support for firing off varScoper from ANT yet? Would love to get this in with our integration process.

Dave-
I'm going to include support for ANT in 1.30 (it's actually in there now, but without instructions). If you take a look at the build.xml file you can probably figure it out.

False positive for qJars in this scenario:
<cfscript>
var qJars = 0;
</cfscript>

<cfdirectory action="list" name="qJars" directory="#path#" filter="*.jar" sort="name desc"/>

Matt-
Is there additional code that you didn't include that causes the false positive? Also, are you sure that you checked "parse cfscript" when you ran it? I just created a test case locally and it seems to run fine without false positives.
# Posted By Mike Schierberl | 6/30/08 2:18 PM
My fault. I did not have parse cfscript checked.
I guess I saw "experimental" and glazed over it.

False positive not found when checked.

Thanks, awesome tool. Really fast

Mike,

This is super useful tool that I don't know how I lived without. One useful addition for me would be a check box that allowed it to ignore violations that occur inside comments
# Posted By Rick Mason | 7/17/08 11:48 AM
Rick-
I'd love to add that in, however, comments have proven to be extremely difficult to parse with regular expressions. As soon as I can figure out a reliable expression to use I'll include this feature by default. I'd love any help that I can get.

Mike,

i try your varScoper.
Very nice !!!

I have an unscope variable but i don't know how to scope its...

<cfinvoke method="getQStat" returnvariable="qStat">

Can you help me pleaz?
# Posted By The Frog | 7/18/08 10:37 AM
In that example, the code to locally scope the variable to your function would be....

<cfset var qStat = "" />
