[Fixed] Index lenghts is not as expected

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 12:21:23 +0000

I am experiencing an issue with your tool, specifically concerning the generation of the index length attribute option. The generated output is not as expected.

I need this

[ORM\Index(name: "array", columns: ["array"], options: ["lengths"=>[100]])]

If i put [100] the result is:

[ORM\Index(name: "array", columns: ["array"], options: ["lengths"=>"[100]"])]

[Fixed] Annotation export comment line length limit

Thu, 27 Apr 2023 12:55:39 +0000

Is there a way to force skipper to not reformat multi line annotation to single line?
Auto generated annotation sometimes is to long and does not pass phpcs, and every time I do export, skipper overwrite already formatted annotation to single line.

[Closed] Model Import from non standard MySQL port not working?!

Mon, 27 Mar 2023 05:53:29 +0000

Let's try this again... I asked this a week ago, but the question was never reviewed and doesn't show up in my questions...

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?

[solved] removing entity

[solved] Wrong type hinting property name on polymorphic association (Laravel)

Tue, 31 Jan 2023 11:06:27 +0000

When exporting the models of a polymorphic association the property name is wrong. The skipper internal EntityAlias is correct

abstract class AbstractCompany extends Model
//the relation
public function documents()
{
return $this->morphMany('\App\Models\Document', 'documentable', 'documentabletype', 'documentableid');
}

//the wrong type hint
* @property \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection $company

//the right type hint should be
* @property \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection $documents

[fixed] Is it possible to do a Laravel/Eloquent MySQL ORM import that maintains field order (currently alphabetical)

Mon, 09 May 2022 19:56:32 +0000

When I import a Laravel/Eloquent ORM through a connection to MySQL, the entities all list the fields in alphabetical order instead of the order in which the fields are listed in the actual DB table. Is there a way to achieve this with the current version? If not, I'd like to make that a feature request.

Thanks,

[Closed] Can't copy file... Error: boost::filesystem::copy_file: Invalid argument

Thu, 03 Feb 2022 07:34:31 +0000

After updating to a newer version I can't save or update anymore as both give error on file copy. I'm on version 3.2.35.1759 and I also tried manually downloading the latest version, but it has the same problems.

Saving fails when it tries to copy the project file to a .bak file and updating fails when it tries to copy platforms/libqxcb.so to a backup folder. Both give out same error message (only with different file paths):

*** Unhandled Atomix exception
*** Qt information:
Error <boost::exception> sending event 11QMouseEvent to object  (11QToolButton)
*** Exception information:
axCore/axFileSystem/helpers/fileHelper.cpp(131): Throw in function static bool Atomix::CFileHelper::CopyFile(axPath, axPath)
Dynamic exception type: boost::wrapexcept<Atomix::CException>

File permissions are not the issue, old version of Skipper worked fine with same files. Also, it does create the file it is trying to copy to, only it's left empty.

After Googling for the error message, found some discussion in another programs github issues about boost being "quite fragile, sensitive to quirks of platform dependence and various file systems" and there were talk about it not working on encrypted filesystem. I am on Linux and I have encrypted home folder, so I tried saving the project file outside my home directory and then it works without errors. Never had any problems with any other software regarding the encrypted home directory and I have been using it for many years, and even the old version of Skipper was working just fine. Hope you can fix this quickly, currently can't really use it at all as I can't save any changes.

[Fixed] Running xmllint against generated schema fails

Fri, 21 May 2021 14:33:51 +0000

When running xmllint against the generated schema there are several validation errors:

Skipper v3.2.32.1734
Doctrine ORM v2.8.5

Running

xmllint --noout --schema vendor/doctrine/orm/doctrine-mapping.xsd data/orm/Money.Money.dcm.xml

with the generated schema (data/orm/Money.Money.dcm.xml):

    <field name="amount" type="bigint" nullable="false"/>
    <field name="currency" type="currency" nullable="false"/>

</doctrine-mapping>

Gives the following errors:

The formatting I can deal with, but is there any way to remove/correct the invalid attributes and update to the correct XML header?

[Fixed] Update document generation to avoid deprecation notices of doctrine/mongo-db-odm

Tue, 23 Mar 2021 14:03:51 +0000

doctrine/mongo-db-odm logs the following deprecation notices:

1) Since doctrine/mongodb-odm 2.1: The "boolean" mapping type is deprecated. Use "bool" instead.

Can you please have a look and adjust the document generation? Thanks!

[Implemented] Code hinting for properties on Laravel model

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 17:36:33 +0000

Hey everyone, i just wanted to say that one thing that has always been a pain is the time it takes to write out all the properties and model relationships into the code comments in order to get autocomplete in your IDE's.

I would imagine that this could be a very simple task for skipper to handle this because all of the relationships are already being defined for you.

Would it be too much to ask for the function return methods to show the proper relationships, and the abstract models to list out all the columns on the database along with their types?

/**
* @property int $id
* @property string $the_thing
* @property \Carbon\Carbon $created_at
* @property \Carbon\Carbon $updated_at
* @property \App\Models\Relation $relation
*/

That type of stuff would be super helpful and save us countless hours of typing :)

[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?

[Closed] illuminate eloquent support without laravel

Fri, 05 Feb 2021 21:35:08 +0000

I have some ideas on you can make skipper more useful if you are open to hear it.

First I am using CI3 as a framework. It is outdated and the creators have left CI 3 users without a path to upgrade to CI4.

I started using illuminate eloquent in my project to get more modern ORM features. It has been great.

I am able to use skipper to get a jump on the creation of the models, but with a lot of manual modification. Mostly done with rename utilities and also some python scripts.

I think it is good, but it would be much nicer if I had more control over what was generated.

For example, I setup my name space as Models;

This way all the illuminate eloquent models won't interfere with everything else. I also don't really like having abstract models and then normal models. My models aren't so large I can't just use them directly. If we had the ability to change the name space and imports and also using abstract classes or not I think it would make it so I can use skipper without doing any additional modifications. I understand why you would use abstract models when using a generator though, but since my use case is more of a 1 time setup it doesn't make as much sense.

Normally I just create my models as I go now, but still using skipper is a nice thing to have just to stay up to date and look at how everything is progressing. I first used skipper like a year ago.

So if you can, please give more ability to customize a Laravel like environment using Eloquent but maybe not Laravel as a whole.

I want to use laravel and maybe some time down the line the project will be completely converted, but until then it requires much more work on my part.

I know using Eloquent as a stand alone package is pretty popular. I even use schema builder as well for migrations although wrapped in some CI3 controllers specific to CI3 migrations. For example.

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Capsule\Manager as Capsule;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

class Migration_PeoplePhone_authorized_add extends CI_Migration {
  private $table = "person_phones";

  public function __construct() {
      parent::__construct();
  }

  public function up() {
    if(Capsule::schema()->hasTable($this->table)) {
      Capsule::schema()->table($this->table, function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->boolean('authorized')->after('receive_texts')->default(0)->comment('added in migration 037');
        $table->integer('authorization_code')->after('authorized')->nullable()->comment('added in migration 037');
        $table->dateTime('authorization_code_date')->after('authorization_code')->nullable()->comment('added in migration 037');
      });
    }
  }

  public function down() {
    if(Capsule::schema()->hasTable($this->table)) {
      $table_name = $this->table;
      Capsule::schema()->table($this->table, function (Blueprint $table) use ($table_name) {
        if (Capsule::schema()->hasColumn($table_name, 'authorized')) {
          $table->dropColumn('authorized');
          $table->dropColumn('authorization_code');
          $table->dropColumn('authorization_code_date');
        }
      });
    }
  }
}
?>

And the models look more like this

<?php
namespace Models;

class Person extends BaseModel
{
    /**  
     * The table associated with the model.
     * 
     * @var string
     */
    protected $table = 'people';

    /**  
     * Primary key name.
     * 
     * @var string
     */
    public $primaryKey = 'person_id';

    /**  
     * Do not automatically manage timestamps by Eloquent
     * 
     * @var bool
     */
    public $timestamps = false;

    /**  
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     * 
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'person_id' => 'integer',
        'organization_id' => 'integer',
        'person_type_id' => 'integer',
        'primary_site_id' => 'integer',
        'title' => 'string',
        'given_name' => 'string',
        'given_middle_name' => 'string',
        'family_name' => 'string',
        'email' => 'string',
        'address_1' => 'string',
        'address_2' => 'string',
        'address_3' => 'string',
        'city' => 'string',
        'state' => 'string',
        'postal_code' => 'string',
        'country_id' => 'integer',
        'extra_1' => 'string',
        'created_at' => 'datetime',
        'created_by' => 'integer',
        'conversion_id' => 'string'
    ];

    public function organization()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Organization::class, 'organization_id', 'organization_id');
    }

    public function documentCategories()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(DocumentCategory::class, 'person_id', 'person_id');
    }

    public function documents()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Document::class, 'person_id', 'person_id');
    }

    public function employees()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Employee::class, 'person_id', 'person_id');
    }

    public function eventPeoples()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(EventPerson::class, 'person_id', 'person_id');
    }

    public function groupPeoples()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(GroupPerson::class, 'person_id', 'person_id');
    }

    public function personPhones()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(PersonPhone::class, 'person_id', 'person_id');
    }

    public function users()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(User::class, 'person_id', 'person_id');
    }
}
?>

As you can see I also have a BaseModel that is the parent of all models that use a common set of functions. Being able to set this would also be nice.

I know some of these things are project specific, but thought I would show what I am using it for to see if you can improve things if it is useful.

Thanks, Ryein

[Fixed] How can you stop the "keyType" of the model from being a "bigInteger"?

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 17:54:29 +0000

This setting is throwing a fatal error because there's no such thing as a bigInteger cast in a laravel model. We are being forced to delete every $keyType property manually on every export. This isn't ideal. Am I doing something wrong in Skipper?

First of all, thank you for adding dark mode (dark theme).

I personally know from years of using Skipper what the colors mean but someone might find that a bit confusing.

[Fixed] Cannot select a color from the color picker

Fri, 20 Nov 2020 06:52:44 +0000

When I start a brand new project then try to change the color of the MainBundle background my MacOS Big Sur installation just beeps at me and does not allow me to select a color.

This is the most basic example and of course I cannot select a color for an existing ERD element of any type. This is a most unexpected error.

edit: Also broken is selecting a join name for a many to many from the list e.g. UserToRole, User2Role, etc.

I'm no expert but I think it's got something to do with modal windows on modal windows.

[Closed] Annotations and RepositoryClass

Thu, 02 Apr 2020 16:19:57 +0000

Is it possible to have skipper include a RepositoryClass within Doctrine2 Annotations? Am I missing a setting somewhere.

For example

/**
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\ProductRepository")
 */
class Product
{}

In looking at
https://www.skipper18.com/en/frameworks/doctrine2

It appears as though it will generate it for the XML output under the but not in the annotations.

This tool is amazing, but it does take me a significant amount of time to go through and update all of the Class files after exporting to include the RepositoryClass. I tried searching the forum and didn't see anything related, hopefully I am just missing a setting somewhere!

Thanks!

[Solved] Issue with exporting many to many tables and relations

Sun, 01 Dec 2019 16:53:48 +0000

We recently bought multiple licences but we are encountering an issue with exporting a Laravel ORM. Whe have a many to many relation between 2 tables. But the ‘belongsToMany’ function in the export is named incorrectly.
table a is named: accomodations
table b is namen: facilities
intermediate table is named: accomodationfacility
al are named this way from building the ORM in Skipper.
But the relation function in the models that are exported have the wrong table names in them. in this case it has the table name: ‘accomodationfacilities’ wich is incorrect.

Can you please fix this. Cause every export these thins get replaced by the new exported absract model classes.

[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).

[Solved] Is my installation broken?

Tue, 17 Sep 2019 01:57:25 +0000

My app has several issues I think are related. Here's a list of some of them:

I've searched high and low in Skipper for the setting to run plural naming off. I found the checkboxes under Edit > Application Settings and I have turned them off but they keep getting generated as plural.
I created a table with Float field. The Property Editor for the field does not show any ORM Properties.
I click on an entity and the only thing under Property Editor is "Name". All the ORM data like table name are not listed.
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 seems to me like every ORM Properties in the Property Editor across the whole application is empty. Maybe one of the beta builds I installed corrupted my install? I'm running the latest version now. Does this sound like a possibility?

[Solved] What did I do to my modules?

Tue, 02 Jul 2019 16:32:18 +0000

Hi,

Not sure if this is just something I did or not ... but I have a skipper project that itself includes a number of skipper modules. For some reason (this didn't do this earlier on), whenever I now open up the project, it looks like the following:

No matter how many times I reposition these modules and save, they end up back here whenever I reopen the project. Is there any way I can get them to stay where I want them for this project?

I believe it may be related to them being used in multiple projects which is causing this.

Kind Regards,

[Solved] Skipper not showing up on windows on startup

Thu, 04 Apr 2019 13:54:46 +0000

I've reinstalled skipper twice and restarted my computer many times but I still receive the same issue. On, startup it acts as if skipper is running in my task bar and only shows a blank white box offscreen. Any ideas?

[Solved] How to add a custom attribute in the ORM export?

Thu, 04 Apr 2019 08:30:33 +0000

Hi,

I want to add the Gedmo\Softdeleteable extension (https://github.com/Atlantic18/DoctrineExtensions/blob/master/doc/softdeleteable.md) to my entities with the attribute hardDelete set to false.

This attribute is not listed in Skipper, so I have added:

<attribute name="HardDelete" type="bool" help-text="A boolean to enable or disable hard delete after soft delete has already been done."/>

in Configurations/Extensions/Gedmo/GedmoExtension.skipper.cfg.xml.

The attribute is now shown in Skipper, which is good, but when I export the ORM, the attribute doesn't appear in the class annotation:

@Gedmo\SoftDeleteable(fieldName="deletedAt")

instead of

@Gedmo\SoftDeleteable(fieldName="deletedAt",hardDelete=false)

How can this be fixed?

Thank you in advance.

[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.

[Solved] License activation failed - Couldn't connect to server

[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.

[Solved] orphanRemoval in ManyToMany

Tue, 18 Dec 2018 10:43:52 +0000

Hi,
In Doctrine 2, the management of orphanRemoval in a Many to Many link is possible, but it is not possible to do it with Skipper or I did not find the entry point.
Do you have a solution ?

[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] PHP generated for Gedmo definition is wrong

Fri, 23 Nov 2018 10:11:45 +0000

I have multiple Timestampable definitions for one Entity but different fields.
The generated PHP only contains one (seems to be the last definition):

Would have expected:

/**
 * @ORM\Column(type="datetime", nullable=false)
 * @Gedmo\Timestampable(on="create")
 * @Gedmo\Timestampable(on="change", field="status")
 *
 */
private $statusTime;

But this is actually generated:

/**
 * @ORM\Column(type="datetime", nullable=false)
 * @Gedmo\Timestampable(on="change", field="status")
 *
 */
private $statusTime;

[Fixed] Problems with the generation of lifecycle callback

Thu, 22 Nov 2018 08:16:27 +0000

Hello,
There is, I think, a problem in the management of LifecycleCallbacks.
When importing my entity, @ORM \ HasLifecycleCallbacks, @PrePersist and @PreFlush annotations already present are not recognized.
If I add them in my entity, at each generation, the method is added again.
Thanks for your help.
Small precision, I tried with a new project and everything goes well

[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.
