Have this code where i am trying to run a loop for few times to make sure i do get my result, but for some reason, i am still getting an error displayed on sreen and it is not even doing the cflog so i can know what is going on, any help will be appreciated
var aData = [];
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
try {
var a = {};
var as = calltoapitoogetdata;
a['count'] = as;
ArrayAppend(aData, mData);
var retJSON = serializeJSON(aData);
writedump(retJSON);
//return serializeJSON(aData);
break;
} catch (any e) {
i = i + 1;
cflog(text = "Call failed #i#", application = true, file = "loogevent");
writedump(i);
}
}
Thanks

Answer 1

If your code is still erroring it is most likely coming from the cflog call being made in your cfcatch. If you are running a version of Adobe ColdFusion the script version would be :
WriteLog(type="Error", file="myapp.log", text="[#ex.type#] #ex.message#");

Lucee has made many of the CFScript functions equivalent of their tag names but with Adobe CF there are a number of functions that do not comply with this. <cfdump> -> writeDump for example.

Too long for a comment.
I think troubleshooting is easier if all available information is right in front of you on the screen. So, I would troubleshoot like this. Your code is below with my additions in uppercase:
var aData = [];
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
try {
WRITEOUTPUT('TRY NUMBER #I# <BR>);
var a = {};
var as = calltoapitoogetdata;
WRITEDUMP(AS);
a['count'] = as;
ArrayAppend(aData, mData);
var retJSON = serializeJSON(aData);
writedump(retJSON);
//return serializeJSON(aData);
break;
} catch (any e) {
i = i + 1; // THIS LINE IS NOT NECESSARY
WRITEOUTPUT('CATCH NUMBER #I# <BR>);
cflog(text = "Call failed #i#", application = true, file = "loogevent"); //THIS LINE GETS REPLACED BY
WRITEDUMP(E);
writedump(i); // THIS LINE GOES AWAY
}
}
