07/14/2023, 6:52 PMok, so i say screw it, and add this to app.cfc:
this.serialization = {
preserveCaseForStructKey: true
};
And... it works in a CFM, not in a CFC. Any reason why it would do that?

07/14/2023, 6:58 PMdocs (https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-s/serializejson.html) say "*Note:* Key preservation do not work on keys in application, session, or request scopes."

07/14/2023, 6:59 PMnope, i mean a regular cfc
raymondcamden
07/14/2023, 6:59 PMin a method ive got: var something = {};

Scott Bennett
07/14/2023, 7:00 PMah.. you said app.cfc and I assumed you were abbreviating application.cfc and then maybe doing something in one of those scopes
r
raymondcamden
07/14/2023, 7:01 PMno, i meant, i set the setting there. although from the docs, i think its supposed to default to preserving case
s
Scott Bennett
07/14/2023, 7:04 PMall I know is that when case matters anywhere I always set my struct keys like {'myKey' = 'somevalue'}

07/14/2023, 7:04 PMyeah, i guess ill have to

Rodney
07/14/2023, 7:04 PMMy test indicates otherwise Scott. They will be uppercase for anything CF creates for those scope but anything you put in those scope will keep their casing.

07/14/2023, 7:04 PMI have never trusted CF to preserve the case of struct keys any other way
r
raymondcamden
07/14/2023, 7:05 PMi wonder if the CFC is caching somehow. trusted cache is off
r
Rodney
07/14/2023, 7:08 PMFYI, I have Enabled Per Application Settings and Preserve case for stuct key Serialization checked in my admin and this.serialization.preserveCaseForStructKey = true set in Application.cfc for good measure.

07/14/2023, 7:10 PMIs Save class files unchecked in the Admin?
s
Scott Bennett
07/14/2023, 7:10 PMmaybe try clearing the template cache? is that still a thing? I haven't actually had to do that in many moons
Scott Bennett
07/14/2023, 7:11 PMlooks like the button is still there
r
raymondcamden
07/14/2023, 7:11 PMive already modified the CFC to use quotes 😉

Scott Bennett
07/14/2023, 7:12 PMand there's a clear component cahce button too

Rodney
07/14/2023, 7:12 PMWhen all else fails, smacking CF upside the head works.

Scott Bennett
07/14/2023, 7:13 PMyes, there's always the old turn it off and on again trick

Rodney
07/14/2023, 7:14 PMThat's when using CommandBox is great. Just

Scott Bennett
07/14/2023, 7:15 PMQuotes is always reliable for preserving the case of struct keys... I've literally never even tried the preserveCaseForStructKey setting
Scott Bennett
07/14/2023, 7:16 PMwould be nice to know that would actually work though
r
Rodney
07/14/2023, 7:16 PMI've never had an issue with using the preserveCaseForStructKey setting. Well, except when testing CF 2023.

Rodney
07/14/2023, 7:18 PMI also use the preseverCaseForQueryColumns without issue since we have a large database that's case sensitive (ugh).
Rodney
07/14/2023, 7:22 PMWhat version of CF are you using Ray?

r
Rodney
07/14/2023, 7:22 PMUh, that has a known bug with ignoring the perserveCaseForStruct in Applicaiton.cfc.
r
raymondcamden
07/14/2023, 7:23 PMto be clear 🙂 im seeing it in a cfc, not app.cfc
raymondcamden
07/14/2023, 7:23 PMi mentioned app.cfc to say that i added the setting there
raymondcamden
07/14/2023, 7:23 PMthen in a CFC i was building, i noticed it wasnt working
r
Rodney
07/14/2023, 7:25 PMIt also affects local and possibly other scopes. https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4218099

raymondcamden
07/14/2023, 7:25 PMoh well shit
raymondcamden
07/14/2023, 7:26 PMhappy to know its known

07/14/2023, 7:26 PMSorry. I saw 2021 in the Ben Nadel link you posted and my brain was stuck on that.

raymondcamden
07/14/2023, 7:28 PMno, i appreciate it
raymondcamden
07/14/2023, 7:29 PMand now i get to write a quick CF blog post. first since... wow i wrote one in april1??!? https://www.raymondcamden.com/categories/coldfusion
