CFFUNCTION returntype error

Question

"The value returned from the addRequirement function is not
of type query" is what I get when I execute the below function.
This works fine in 7, but in 8 I get that error. Any ideas?
<CFFUNCTION NAME="addItem" output="false"
returntype="query">
<CFARGUMENT NAME="userid" TYPE="numeric"
REQUIRED="true">
<CFARGUMENT NAME="title" TYPE="string"
REQUIRED="true">
<cfset var addRequirement = "">
<CFQUERY NAME="addItem" datasource="#variables.dsn#">
INSERT INTO test(userID,title)
VALUES (#ARGUMENTS.userID#,'#arguments.title#')
</CFQUERY>
<cfreturn addItem>
</CFFUNCTION>

Answer 1

In addition to the insert not returning a result set, you
have your var declared as 'addRequirement'
but your query name and return value are 'addItem'
If it were me, I'd set the return type to boolean, then set a
var result = 'FALSE'. Wrap the insert query in a CFTRY and if it's
sucessful, set result = 'TRUE' and then return result
