also check the table rules |

perhaps pepper the core with some debug statements, that’d be my next step. specifically where it returns false. one might be failing for some strange reason |

elboletaire |
ofc |

I’m assuming you debugged roles and users, and they have content |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:26 |
jeremyharris |
yeah actually; scratch that idea |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:26 |
elboletaire |
but, setting it to `dirty` is only needed if I'm trying to save new contained entities (roles in my case), right? |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:25 |
jeremyharris |
elboletaire they might be returning true if there is nothing to save, eg, no dirty properties |

btw, I'm using Cake 3.3.16, I don't know if there's any known issue related to this (I wasn't able to found it in github issues) |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:21 |
elboletaire |
but I don't feel very confortable using that approach, as both entities are already saved (using `_ids` seems like I'm adding much logic that can be ignored if I use `link`) |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:20 |
elboletaire |
yes |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:20 |

Does it work if you build an array with _ids and use patchEntity() ? |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:19 |
elboletaire |
maybe I could debug it somehow? some protected property in the entity maybe? |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:19 |

save() returns mixed if I recall, false or the data |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:19 |

I would imagine that set() and link() return boolean as they’re just assigning things, so the boolean would be a ‘Yes Ive done this’ type return |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:18 |
elboletaire |
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` |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:17 |
neon1024 |
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 |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:16 |
neon1024 |
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 |
| # |
Jun 27th 2017, 15:15 |
neon1024 |
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 |

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? |
