I’m looking for a way to map source file usage in my project.
I found that turning on the Debugging server setting lists execution time for each template called or included in a page, which is a great start. I’d like to extend this functionality for each template to log the template that called the function (or included the template) in the order they were called.
Background: The project I’m working on is very large and unwieldy…it has been worked on by dozens of programmers going back over a decade, all of whom seemed to have their own idea about how to “organize” the code. There are a few components and custom tags, but mainly cfincludes.
example: Foo.cfm sets x to some value, then includes Bar.cfm, which sets variable y, then includes Baz.cfm, which sets variable x to something else, etc… until you get to file Qux.cfm, which does something with variables x and y. Looking at Qux.cfm, I have no idea where x was last assigned. On top of that, many features of the code have gone through updates or rewrites, so we have filenames like Bar_v8.cfm, Baz_v10.cfm, Baz_v10_new.cfm, Qux_wmv.cfm, /v10/Qux_mp4.cfm, Qux_audio_v11.cfm, etc… each of which was seemingly copypasted from another similar file with a few changes, but using the same variable names.
In short, it’s a little slice of Hell 
Oh, and there are over 3200 cfm files in the repo, and I’ve got a feeling that a huge percentage of the files are unused in the current version of the code, which sucks when I make a change to usefulHelperFunction() and I need to check every file that uses it. If I could access the debug info from the code I could log each template in a db table whenever it is called and eventually I might be able to cull the repo of obsolete files.
Whoops, didn’t mean to ramble so long…I think I went into a fugue state there 
Anyways, I think I could get what I need if there’s a way to access the raw info used by Lucee’s debugging templates.
Thanks,
