Page is blank on initialization when using static dependency files

[cfGothChic]

Is there a way I can debug the initialization when static dependency files are being used? We have a complex js dependency file (500+ lines) and I am trying to make one file dependent on another. I can initialize cfstatic successfully with these two files defined with other dependencies, but when i try to set up the new dependency I get a blank page. No changes are made to the js itself. I suspect there is a circular dependency that is causing an infinite loop, but I can not figure out how to debug it to determine its cause. Is there something I can try?

Dang, I commented on this yesterday and the comment has disappeared.

In short, there is no official way to debug the initialization. The CFC DependencyFileParser.cfc would be a good bet if you wanted to do some rough debugging, i.e. to dump the result of parse() method on line 40.

I've just committed a fix for the recursive dependencies problem. You should now be able to declare recursive dependencies without CfStatic blowing up. I would expect to see an out of memory error with recursive dependencies, but perhaps your environment is causing a different behaviour.

The latest release is 0.6.1. Let me know if that solves the problem for you. Would love to see that 500+ lines of dependencies, sounds fun...

It is fun (Daria works with me), and if I can find your email address I'll send you a copy.

Dang, been horribly busy and haven't been receving GH notifications in my email. Did the recursive fix solve the problem? Or did you get to the bottom of it some other way?

Going to close this for now. Let me know if still needs looking at.
