Question

I’m trying to do server side facebook connect, but the sdk (get it here) provided gives the following error:

Invalid CFML construct found on line 523 at column 78.
ColdFusion was looking at the following text:

{

And it doesn’t explain why it’s throwing this error. I’m not good at cfscript, so I don’t know whether the sdk uses the correct syntax, but it throws the error on this function, at the braces of the struct in the function arguments:

private String function getUrl(String path = "", Struct parameters = {})
{
    var key = "";
    var resultUrl = "https://www.facebook.com/" & arguments.path;
    if (structCount(arguments.parameters)) {
        resultUrl = resultUrl & "?" & serializeQueryString(arguments.parameters);
    }
    return resultUrl;
}

I had thought that using an sdk would be a no brainer, but apparently I’m missing something.
What am I doing wrong?

Part 2:
The code now comes to a halt at:

for (var propertyName in arguments.properties) {
        httpService.addParam(type="formField", name=propertyName, value=arguments.properties[propertyName]);
    }

Are you not allowed to use a for loop in cfscript?

Answer 1

Try structNew() or “#structNew()#” instead of {}
