cftry catch not returning withStatus code

[Tim Vanderlois]

I have added cftry cfcatch around my get method. For testing I intentionally broke the get function and my cfcatch executes; however the cfcatch has code to return: rep("some message").withStatus(400, "some message")

but instead on my consuming end I'm getting a status 500 with message "error". Why would I not get the 400 status?

My guess is that there is code in the catch block that is in fact throwing an exception itself. Can you show us the code?  :-)

Good thought. My cfcatch uses a cfinclude. For testing the only statement now in the cfinclude is: <cfreturn  rep("test").withStatus(400,"test")>

No issues when NOT using the cfinclude, but there are issues using the cfinclude.

Another note on the cfinlude: i had a cfmail tag that did execute so I know the cfinclude is getting included correctly.

Following returns status 400

<cfcatch type="any">

  <cfreturn  rep("test").withStatus(400,"test")>

</cfcatch>

Following returns status 500

<cfcatch type="any">

  <cfinclude template="/common/cfm/apiCatch.cfm">

</cfcatch>

apiCatch.cfm

<cfreturn  rep("test").withStatus(400,"test")>

I'm guessing that you're attempting to reference something in the include that is out of scope, throwing the exception. What do your logs say?

[Tim Vanderlois]

Perhaps I cannot use the mixin rep() in the cfinlude...

Without more of your code to go on, it's hard to say for sure what the root of the problem is.

Using a mixin inside a function is something I've never tried before, but I wouldn't be surprised if ACF is messing that up somehow. Can you move the mixin up to the component pseudoconstructor (outside of the methods, inside the component) and make it (your mixin) just a set of functions that can be called?

Alternatively, use a base class. That's the more traditional method of code sharing with objects. If you make base.cfc that extends taffy.core.representation; and then your resources extend base, then taffy's functionality will still work and you can share the functionality in base across any number of objects.

Could I put a function in my Application.cfc that extends taffy.core.api - if so how would I invoke from a resource?

If not I may use a base class as suggested. 

My initial goal was to standardize catching any api error throughout all api's, cfinclude would have been nice, but ultimately I should have known better using cfinclude within a cfc.

[Adam Tuttle]

No, functions in Application.cfc are not available to resource methods.
