How do you track templates calls in ColdFusion?

Question

How do you track template path in ColdFusion?

I.E. I have the following folder and file structure

• index.cfm

  <cfset ArrayAppend(request.Trace, '/')> <cfdump var=#request.trace#>

• foo

  • index.cfm

    <cfset ArrayAppend(request.Trace, '/foo/')> <cfinclude template='../'>

  • bar

    • index.cfm

      ArrayAppend(request.Trace,'/foo/bar/')> <cfinclude template='../'>

When I call foo/bar/index.cfm, request.Trace equals:

• '/foo/bar/'
• '/foo/'
• '/'

How could I do this without specifically declaring each folder name?

Answer 1

Have a look at:

• expandPath(".")
• getBaseTemplatePath()
• getCurrentTemplatePath()
• CGI.CF_TEMPLATE_PATH
• CGI.PATH_TRANSLATED
• CGI.SCRIPT_NAME

If you want the template stack trace, use this:

<cfset templateTrace = []>
<cfset tagTrace = createObject("java","java.lang.Exception").init().TagContext>
<cfloop array="#tagTrace#" index="tagInfo">
    <cfset templateTrace.add(tagInfo.Template)>
</cfloop>
<cfdump var="#templateTrace#">

This will output all templates passed up to this call.

Not ideal but this worked for me.

<cfset currentFile = GetCurrentTemplatePath()>
<cfset currentDir = GetDirectoryFromPath(currentFile)>
<cfset webroot = expandPath("/")>
<cfset m_Trace = Replace(currentDir, webroot , '\')>
<cfset ArrayAppend (request.Trace, m_Trace )>
