I’m currently scoping out code to adapt to the ImplicitScopes changes introduced in CF2021 and CF2023. However, I’ve encountered an issue: when invoking methods within a CFC file—where the component path is explicitly specified—I get a peculiar recursion error. This error drives the CPU usage up to 300% and ultimately necessitates restarting ColdFusion. Is this issue a bug - no longer being able to explicitly define the component path within the component itself?

Hmm, I didn't know you could even specify a filesystem path like that... You do know that creates a completely new instance of the CFC, invokes the method on it, and throws it away, right? (whereas the first one just calls the method in the current instance)

No, I hadn't realized that using the 'component' attribute behaves differently. I use

cfinvoke

to keep the code standardized for later automated analysis.
