Lucee 5 converts array of structs into struct containing structs

I apologize. I found the issue. It’s with my sloppy code working in Lucee 4. This works using cfloop and array in 4 but not 5:

[ test1 = {foo = ‘bar'}, test2 = {bar = 'foo’} ]

This works in both and is what the documentation says:

[ {foo = ‘bar'}, {bar = 'foo’} ]

Thanks for everyone’s time.

this creates an array with 4 elements in it

this creates an ordered struct with 4 elements

the first example is what you see in the doc, the second is what you are doing in cftry

sitenote: you can always use the attribute index AND item with cfloop.

i don’t see anything wrong atm, please clarify what you think works wrong.

Sorry but the documentation here seems to use the exact same syntax and even recommends it. I'm very tired but am I missing something?

Thank you sir.

@Jacob Steelsmith The Lucee 4 behavior looks like a bug in the parser as that has never been an acceptable way to declare an array that I know of. The syntax you are using is actually a feature in Lucee 5 that allows you to create ordered struct literals.

The reason the “cfloop array=…” errors is because you haven't created an array, but an ordered struct (as you can see in the dump).

If you test this on Adobe CF 2018, you will see the same behavior there as well.
