I just tested it and everything works as expected. I created a docker instance of MySQL on port 3308.

When I tried to connect via 3306 port, I received:

[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.

Is there any way to "reset" internal data structure?

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.

Answered: [Solved] lifecycleCallbacks issue: Two functions created and link to documentation is outdated

Mon, 07 Sep 2020 15:20:06 +0000

The last update fixed some issues with lifecycle-callbacks and this fix probably also fixed the export in your case. The reason why you're getting two methods is probably that you have two different names.

Compare "updateTimestamps" and "UpdateTimestamps".

Regarding the link, it's probably because Doctrine changed again their URLs without backward compatibility. We will check these links (again... ;-( ).

[Closed] Invalid field order in a generated entity class

Fri, 11 Oct 2019 08:44:00 +0000

Doctrine2, annotation driver. This seems to happen with composite keys.

A sample entity:

Generated PHP code:

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 * @ORM\Table(name="tags_to_tickets")
 */
class TagsToTickets
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer", options={"unsigned":true})
     */
    private $user_id;

    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Model\Entity\Ticket\Ticket", inversedBy="tagsToTickets")
     * @ORM\JoinColumn(name="ticket_id", referencedColumnName="id", nullable=false, onDelete="CASCADE")
     */
    private $ticket;

    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Model\Entity\Ticket\TicketTag", inversedBy="tagsToTickets")
     * @ORM\JoinColumn(name="tag_id", referencedColumnName="id", nullable=false, onDelete="RESTRICT")
     */
    private $ticketTags;
}

Now, if a table is created by doctrine orm:schema-tool:create based on such a file, the invalid order is reflected in the table definition:

I know (as stated in https://support.skipper18.com/2858/answered-configure-doctrine2-script-export-default-values?show=3843#c3843), that Skipper is not a PHP code generator but since it provides this particular feature, it should respect the declaration order of all fields (as far as no technical reason disallows it).

Answered: [Solved] Is my installation broken?

Tue, 17 Sep 2019 05:15:05 +0000

Hello Tom,

Regarding singular/plural names. The option you found in configuration serves only for GUI in association wizards, where you can configure whether to generate singular or plural form for aliases.

Based on our previous conversations I suppose you're asking for Laravel, right? Because only Laravel currently has built-in feature to generate plural table names. If so, there is currently no way how to turn it off.

Can I ask why is why exactly is necessary to export Laravel tables in singular form? Or what kind of "singular/plural" option are you looking for?

Regarding entity/field ORM properties, it would be great if you can send more details about your project. Is it still Laravel? Because Laravel field has a lot of options as you can see here:

Are you sure you have selected the correct ORM framework? Didn't you choose "Without ORM" project? Can you share your project with me?

I'm trying to build ERDs for Doctrine 2 & No Framework. I'll be happy to send a video to
show you all these problems. It feels like my installation is broken so I uninstalled and
reinstalled but that didn't fix it.

It definitely seems like broken installation of wrong project settings. Can you please send this project to ludek.vodicka@skipper18.com so we can check it?

Answered: [Solved] What did I do to my modules?

Wed, 03 Jul 2019 14:00:37 +0000

Hi Gary,

I just checked your project files and the reason for this behavior is pretty simple.

You (or your colleagues) duplicated existing module file several times.

This caused several modules now sharing the same unique UUID, which is internally used for configuring positions in XML files.

as you can see on these two modules, both have the same UUID.

you need to manually edit these xml files and assign unique id to each module which has the same uuid.

[Fixed] Laravel: Decimal Attribute Casting

Sat, 16 Mar 2019 09:45:02 +0000

Skipper Beta: 3.2.17.1516

I was experiencing an irritating error after I imported my project from MariaDB using the Laravel external import tool.

Laravel Error:
"message": "Undefined offset: 1",
"exception": "ErrorException",
"file": "/var/www/projectname/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Concerns/HasAttributes.php",

Solution:
After a lot of experimenting and reading Laravel documentation, I found out that the bug came from decimals and attribute casting.

"When casting to decimal, you should define the number of digits, eg. decimal:2"
https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/eloquent-mutators#attribute-casting

The import failed to grab the decimal arguments. If it not possible to grab them, it should default to some other value.

After manually setting the decimal digits the export to Laravel worked perfectly.

[Fixed] composite key one-to-one unexpected behavior (adds unique constraint to all fields in composite key)

Mon, 04 Mar 2019 07:04:14 +0000

Look at image.

I have ComponentProviderPrice entiy with composile PK (componentid, providerid)
I have ComponentProviderPriceDetail entiy with composile PK (componentid, providerid)

I need one-to-one between ComponentProviderPrice and ComponentProviderPriceDetail
When I select that relation, editor automaticaly adds uniq constraints
to componentid and providerid

But I dont need that (maybe it must be composite uniq - but better way is not do magic there - cause i can't affect it)
When I remove uniq (unchecking checkboxes) my relation comes one-to-many.
Now I need manualy edit skipper file (after save project) and manualy fix relations before export to ORM.

And i have another strange behavior when save/load project.
1) I leave uniq constraits and save project.
2) When loading i see one-to-one between component and ComponentProviderPriceDetail. And same between provider and ComponentProviderPriceDetail

Plz. fix this. Too muth magic for me.

[Answered] Round-trip editing

Thu, 31 Jan 2019 16:39:58 +0000

For adding new fields I find editing my entities in PhpStorm is faster than using Skipper (I use Doctrine2 and annotations).

For adding relations and visualising them Skipper is far easier.

Can we have better support for exporting and importing, and keeping in sync? I have spotted a couple of problems:

When I use "File > Import to Project > Import ORM Schema File" the new fields are imported, but are added to the bottom of the entity in Skipper, not in the order they are in the code.

Example: I exported the SampleEntity that Skipper creates when first run.
In my code editor I added fields "email" and "phone". I added the fields after "name" and before "created_at".

When reimported to Skipper, they were placed at the bottom:

which is not where I meant them to be!
1. If I remove fields in my code and reimport into Skipper, these fields are not removed from the entity
Example: I deleted "email" and reimported the ORM schema. "email" was not removed.

To be able to synchronise the changes in both directions would be extremely useful.

[Answered] Gedmo Export Format Change Causing Issues

Thu, 13 Dec 2018 17:42:49 +0000

In a previous version of Skipper (over a year old), exporting my ORM YAML files to Symfony would generate gedmo configurations that looked like this:

  gedmo:
    timestampable:
      'on': create

After updating to the latest version, the output looks like this:

  gedmo:
    - timestampable:
        on: create

The quotes being removed for "on" is not a problem, bit the " - " prefix on timestampable is causing errors in our Symfony 3.4 app.

Besides using a different output format like XML, is there a way to adjust the YAML format?

[Fixed] Unneccesary foreign column in recent update

Thu, 08 Nov 2018 14:55:44 +0000

Hello,

Since the new inheritance update for Propel models, my model starts to make unneccesary keys on all relations. (1:1, 1:m, m:m)

According to the Propel2 documentation on class table inheritance (link) you need to add a foreign key in order to delegate to that entity. The table itself also needs to have an identifier column.

Every time I make a relation to that delegated class, it will add two foreign keys instead of one. (both the identifier of the base as well as the delegated table). Now this wasn't a problem for so far since I just removed the unneccesary column generated and moved on. Except now I need to make a m:m relation, which does not allow me to remove that one unneccesary column.

Here is my situation, and where it goes wrong.

I'll be awaiting your reply, and thanks in advance.
