# Jul 12th 2017, 15:30 neon1024 :P
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:30 neon1024 Coding PHP isn’t the right way?!
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:29 jlroberts neon1024: thats exactly what I need, but I dont think thats the right way to do it
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:29 neon1024 Sounds like you need `require($myPhpFile)`
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:29 jlroberts the only place I see it is in autoload_files.php @generated by composer
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:27 jlroberts Here is my github issue for more details, https://github.com/cakephp/app/issues/525
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:27 jlroberts ok fellas, I got a question for yall, I am trying to dispatch shells from app/src/Console/Installer.php, but it appears that the cakephp/src/Core/functions.php file is not autoloaded, however, the use statements in Installer.php is autoloaded... anyone know how cakephp/src/Core/functions.php is loaded outside of Installer.php?
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:26 jeremyharris :+1: lemme know!
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:26 ericadeefox ok backpedal, I'm gonna give rewriting these a shot before I gist em
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:26 jeremyharris also, make sure there’s only one `$this->post()` and friends during each test case
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:25 jeremyharris that’s usually how integration tests look. maybe gist one so I can see :slightly_smiling_face:
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:25 ericadeefox does this mean I should rewrite my tests so that they _start_ with requests? like `$this->post()` or `$this->get()` at the beginning, so the session object is created right off the jump?
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:24 ericadeefox so in testing, since the session object isn't created until a request is--oh, wait
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:23 ericadeefox ^that's basically what's happening. the plugin checks to see if a session has been started, then 500s and throws an error when it isn't.
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:23 jeremyharris perhaps an FB class is instantiated early and checks the session?
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:22 jeremyharris you shouldn’t need session_start anywhere. other integration tests work successfully using the session, no?
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:22 jeremyharris ok so this is the process: `$this->session` just stores what you want to write, `$this->post()` starts by building a request, it sees you want to write session data, so it creates a session object and `$session->write()`s to it. `$session->write()` sees the session isn’t started yet, so it starts it for you. the request is then dispatched
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:19 ericadeefox hmm... my tests don't work unless I use `session_start()` at the top of the first test. but then using that, a few of the tests still don't work, because they have to write stuff using `$this->session()`. idk if there is any way to make them compatible.
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:17 jlroberts word
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:17 jeremyharris that’s why `$this->session` exists, to write into the session when the request is actually built
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:17 ericadeefox ahhh. ::nod::
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:17 jeremyharris no it’s not, because the request isn’t built until the test method (e.g., get, post) executes
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:16 ericadeefox I mean, is it _possible_ to write session data using `$this->request->session()->write()` in integration tests? because I just keep getting the error message `Undefined property: App\Test\TestCase\Controller\EventsControllerTest::$request` when I do this.
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:09 jeremyharris np!
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:09 jeremyharris I don’t think it makes sense for it to be a mysql field :slightly_smiling_face:
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:09 pedroseco :)
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:09 pedroseco thanks
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:09 pedroseco ah ok that can work too
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:09 jeremyharris ok, then I would do the fetch first, then just sum it up like $sum = $results->sum(‘totalhours’)
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:09 pedroseco the sum gives the right answer, and your solution to get all fields works too.
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:08 pedroseco yes
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:06 jeremyharris but still want those records as well
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:06 jeremyharris if I’m getting this correctly, you want the sum of totalhours on all the records of $this (dunno the table name) right?
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:06 pedroseco maybe that’s the reason i’m only get 1 row of results?
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:05 jeremyharris @pedroseco that looks ok to me, except it’s missing a group clause which you usually need for aggregate functions
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:04 jeremyharris and the session is started if it needs to be during write()
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:04 ericadeefox ok I'm gonna try to write this differently then...
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:03 jeremyharris the request won’t be available until after the integration test method (e.g., get, post) runs so by then it will be too late. but here’s where it’s written: https://api.cakephp.org/3.4/source-class-Cake.TestSuite.IntegrationTestCase.html#546
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:02 pedroseco @jeremyharris sure: https://gist.github.com/pedroseco/7f2d0cb0e01361c98fc7cd346f24bc24
# Jul 12th 2017, 15:02 ericadeefox @jeremyharris wait does it? wouldn't that mean that one _could_ use `$this->session()` with `session_start()` and it would work? because it totally wasn't working for me so now I'm just trying to figure out how to use `$this->request->session()`
