VarScoper (fork)

This is a fork of Mike Schierberl's original VarScoper which hasn't been updated since 2010. His main project site doesn't appear to be available, so I've captured that through archive.org and put most of it Here.

New Features:

• Updated for latest tags (CF11)
• Added option to show corrected code in a textarea for easier copying.
• Added option to apply padded tabs as a prefix
• Added Corrected Code Style to suppord Tag vs CFScript.

Version

1.4

Installation Instructions:

Extract all files to a publicly accesible directory on your ColdFusion server.

Navigate to index.cfm or varscoper.cfm and enter the absolute or relative path to the template or directory that you would like to check.

Features:

-Identifies unscoped variables within cffunctions
-can return line numbers of functions/variables

Known Limitations:

-(fixed 1.13) Returns false positive when variables are set within a comments block 
-(fixed 1.13) If you don't scope an argument value, and then reference that value it 
 will "technically" return a false positive...
	<cfargument name="foo">
	<cfset foo.foo2 = bar /> 
instead of...
	<cfset arguments.foo.foo2 />

Future TODOs:

-(fixed 1.13) create a library of all cf tags that can create variables
-(fixed 1.13) cfscript
-(fixed 1.13) ignore things in comments (May need to use lookbehind?  Not supported in CF as far as I know)
-Integration with cfeclipse
