Answered: Possible to update revision when exporting?

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 14:56:33 +0000

Ok, I understand now. But this is already included in the Skipper.

When you press export and there is new changes in the migrations, Skipper automatically tell you about this and ask if new migration should be created.

So if you not see this message, you probably turned it off. Check your settings and search for this option

How to export with latestOfMany() relationships for hasOne?

Mon, 11 Nov 2024 15:31:23 +0000

I am exporting my project to a test environment and it is copying over all the models exported by Skipper as expected. I am using Laravel and so far everything is going well.

In order to not change the workflow I need to define latestOfMany() as the relationship default behaviour in the exported Abstract Model.

Is there something I'm missing, can you define such behaviour in Skipper?

Many thanks

Custom field options are not populated in Doctrine2 JoinColumn

Mon, 18 Sep 2023 06:06:31 +0000

All fields under Field Proprties are allowed to have options->comment added, that is saved in DDL via Doctrine's [options: comment="..."] mapping. While it would be nice if the "Description" also populated comment in the DDL, this isn't the biggest problem.

With a Many-to-One association added in the Associations tab a new field, say "pt_id", will be added in Field Properties tab. However, adding text in options => comment does not populate [options: comment="..."] in #[JoinColumn] but only for #[Column].

Strange table name

Fri, 04 Aug 2023 16:36:34 +0000

Hello,

I designed a Laravel Eloquent ORM with Skipper. I have an Entity named SourceDB.
When I export to ORM I have :
- Models are named SourceDB
- Migration create a datatable named source_dbs

But when I want to seed my database with the model, Laravel raise an error :

   Illuminate\Database\QueryException
  SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'testdb.source_d_b_s' doesn't exist (Connection: mysql, SQL: insert into `source_d_b_s` (`server_id`, `name`, `updated_at`, `created_at`) values (1, MyDB, 2023-08-04 13:13:13, 2023-08-04 13:13:13))

"Import External Model" with MySQL not using proper port?

Fri, 04 Aug 2023 16:36:31 +0000

I am running two instances of MySQL on my machine, one on port 3306 one in 3400. When I try to import the model from the 3400 instance, the connection is still being attempted with 3306 even with the proper setting in the dialog.

Is this a known issue?

Laravel Model and Migration Reconcile

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 14:27:57 +0000

Often, I make changes to models and migrations on the fly while coding. I try to remember to go back into Skipper and duplicate these changes, but it would be nice if there was a tool within Skipper that would update a project by reconciling models and migrations updated/added outside of Skipper. If this tool was created, I'd expect that the skipper format would have to be strictly followed and the tool would reject updated/added models and migrations when it wasn't. Just a thought.

Thanks,
Stephen

Hi,

I have good news for you. Although it's not a TypeORM, because of more requests we decided to try to support Javascript frameworks.

At first, we implemented KnexJS support in skipper (migrations + type interfaces + table enums export).

New beta with KnexJS support is available here: https://www.skipper18.com/support/402/downloads-skipper-beta

Based on our research TypeORM is probably currently the most used ORM together with Knex, so we have plans to implement it too.

use skipper with eloquent and phinx

Fri, 13 May 2022 17:55:54 +0000

For a new project I need to use the SLIM4 framework instead of my trusted laravel. I have added Eloquent and will do migrations through phinx (from cakephp).
I want to use skipper for databases design, ORM class generation and migration. I almost got it working but two thing are still giving me trouble:

the generated filename for migrations are of a form that phinx does not understand, and I can't find a way to make it more succeptible. skipper generates yyyymmddtttttt{name}.php but phynx does not recognise this file, it needs yyyymmddtttttt_{name}.php. Is there any way to set the output filename format for migration files?
the migration class (use top of migration file) is fixed at Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration. In my case that needs to be \Migration\Migration which is the class that extends the phinx abstract mygration class. Is there any way to setup the template(?) skipper uses?

all the best!

Answered: Unique Constraint and Doctrine Table Name Error

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 07:22:11 +0000

Hello,

In case you need to export a different column name than the field name, you can use the "column name" property in ORM property editor.

You're experiencing this issue probably because @UniqueConstrains needs to have column list, not field liest. So you need to configure your Colum name properly.

Hello,
thank you for the feature suggestion.

Unfortunately, SSH tunneling isn't currently supported. We can check MYSQL drivers if they support it but I think there was some issue with that (maybe this wasn't available at all or there were some problems with that).

As an alternative, you can use Putty and SSH port tunneling, which allows you to connect to remote SSH systems and forward ports.

Regarding Navicat, what kind of support would you need? Do you mean import from Navicat format to Skipper?

Hello,

unfortunately, it's not possible to disable exporting of one association. This would lead to several inconsistencies and it would be very complicated to implement it (a lot of unnecessary IFs which could bring new errors).

But, you can split your modifications into two revisions and disable the export of the specified revision. In the first step, create tables and everything you need to be exported, in the second step, create the association. Then, in the migration manager, select the second revision and disable this revision for the export.

[Closed] How to clear internal Sqlite data structure inconsistency

Sat, 20 Mar 2021 06:29:03 +0000

Hello,

I can't remember when it was happened, it seems Skipper's internal data has been collapsed.
When I try to add a index to some entities, I get error like:

Sqlite get data next row failed (1)
Query:
INSERT INTO [IndexField]([uid],[uuid],[tmpDirtyFlag],[index_id],[field_id],[ownerProject_id]) VALUES (6008,'b1a9ca0f-8ea6-4cc0-b26d-f02c912b6ad6',1,24,847,1);

I can add indexes if I edit Skipper's XML file directly, but this error persists.

Answered: [Closed] illuminate eloquent support without laravel

Fri, 05 Feb 2021 22:05:35 +0000

Hello Ryein,

thank you for sharing your experiences and ideas.

Unfortunately, it seems that your use case is very specific. Current Eloquent support in Skipper is based on the native Laravel+Eloquent setup and if I understand correctly, the standalone Illuminate Eloquent together with CI behaves slightly different. I believe by CI3/4 you're meaning CodeIgniter, right? Sorry to ask, but I'm not Laravel or CI expert.

The problem probably is the different syntax than Laravel Eloquent.

Altought it can look simillar, based on what you wrote it's completely different framework. This usually means that we have to implement it as a standalone support. Also, you're mentioning that you're using CI3 altought CI4 is already released. In case we will decide to implement CI+Eloquent, we will be able to implement only the only latest version. Unfortuantely, we don't have capacity to support also previous versions of the frameworks.

Regarding your question about base and derived classes, this is something we can't change. Because Eloquent doesn't use any structured langauge to define ORM (like XML,YML or annotations) we have to export whole php file with the definition during every export. We're not able to update Php definitions in the existing code. Because of that we decided to use base&derived classes so user can edit derived class and Skipper the base class.

All this means that currently we're not able to update Skipper in the way you would need. Maybe we will implement CI+Laravel support later when more users will be interested in this integration. But as I wrote, it will be support only for the latest version of the framework.

Thanks for understanding.
