Debugging & Logging > Debugger
Configure debugger for troubleshooting and monitoring
Line debugging is the process of using a tool to set breakpoints in your code to pause execution. When a breakpoint is hit, you can review the application's state and step through code.
Debugger Settings
It is strongly recommended to disable the line debugger in production environments for security and performance reasons. The debugger server listens for commands from ColdFusion Builder on a random port by default. If your firewall configuration requires it, you can specify a fixed port number for the debugger server.
Debugger Configuration
Using the line debugger requires ColdFusion Builder, Adobe's integrated development environment for ColdFusion. You can download a trial version from Adobe's website if you don't already have it. Detailed setup instructions for configuring the debugger connection are available on Adobe's official help site.
Additional Notes
Line debugging is an invaluable tool for tracking down complex code issues, allowing you to step through code execution and inspect variable values in real-time.
