btw, either case works for me :( any ideas on why this apparently works (both `save` using `set` and `link` always return true), but it really doesn't? |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:17 |
elboletaire |
it's a bit more complicated than that... but it does internally `set` the related entities, and then runs `saveLinks` |

Oh right, okay :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:17 |
elboletaire |
in fact, `link` does that internally afaik |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:16 |
elboletaire |
doesn't work either using `set` |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:16 |
neon1024 |
It’s the default too I think |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:16 |
neon1024 |
Cool, that’s the one I prefer. I find it simpler to deal with |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:16 |
elboletaire |
I've it in replace |

Probably worth checking the association saveStrategy too just in case |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:15 |
neon1024 |
Yep, and I would then expect it to create the join table records |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:15 |
elboletaire |
after `set` I should save the entity, right? |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:15 |
elboletaire |
hhmm I'll give it a try |
| # |

I’d probably get a list of role entities, and set it to user $user->set(‘roles’ => $arrayOfRoleEntities); |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:15 |
elboletaire |
how would you do this? linking existing entities with others before/after save? |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:14 |
neon1024 |
Sorry @elboletaire I’ve never used `link()` before, so can’t help with that :slightly_smiling_face: |

success. Any ideas on what's failing? The piece of code is something like this: ```$roles = $entity->roles; $users = $this->Users->find()->where(['department_id' => $entity->id])->all(); foreach ($users as $user) { $this->Users->Roles->link($user, $roles); } ``` |

I'm trying to link belongstomany models using `link`, and, despite it always returns true, does nothing. I'm trying to relate roles with users (Users belongsToMany Roles and vice-versa) using `$this->Users->Roles->link($user, $roles)` where `$roles` is an array of existing role entities and `$user` is the user I'm trying to link to that roles. I'm doing this on another's table `afterSave` method, but I've also tried it directly in the con |

You need to enable the quote identifiers |

or should I just revert back to start/end |

does cake not escape/wrap `s around columns? if have 'from' and 'to' as column names, the update/insert doesnt work.. sql log has SET from = '2017-06-27'. is there some escaping setting for this? |

Yes, I haven’t got ‘on’ => ‘create’ perhaps |

Er, my association is validating the parent foreign key I mean |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 14:30 |
neon1024 |
Could it be that my associations requires the foreign key, but it’s an add, so there isn’t one |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 14:28 |
neon1024 |
No, but that’s a good idea :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 14:27 |
jeremyharris |
@neon1024 it most certainly should, have you tried just creating the associated entity to see if it validates |
| # |

remaining 30% is off topic anyways :P |

@hmic Too true lol! |

Or is the parent’s errors array inclusive of the associated errors? |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 14:26 |
hmic |
the other half is RTFM basically |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 14:25 |

at least most of neon1024 is rubber ducking :D |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 14:25 |
neon1024 |
If an associated entity fails validation, when the parent is validated, why doesn’t the association have an errors array? |
