One of the most coolest features the 2.0.1 release brings is a Request Context snapshot viewer as part of the ColdBox Debugger. This snapshot shows you the state of your request at every specific event execution time. I find this tool extremely amazing, since I can see how my variables change, when they change, which event changed/added/removed them and much more. Look at the screenshot below:
As you can see from the screenshot, the debugger has a RC Snapshot column that you can expand and collapse. Once expanded on a specific event, you can see the content of the request collection as the event got executed. You can see the xeh variables, the dbService object and its type, the event variable and more. As your application executes events, the snapshots are taken and will be ready for visualization in the debugger.
This is a great tool and a great way to debug your applications. No more cfdump and aborts to see where variables get set. Just look at the snapshot.
