# Dec 1st 2017, 22:27 phantomwatson In an integration test, I'm using `$this->configRequest(['environment' => ['foo' => 'bar']])` to set an environment variable before a request, but in the controller method that gets executed, the `foo` env var is always the default value, and `configRequest()` doesn't seem to be doing what I intend it to. Does anyone have any advice about setting env vars in an integration test?
# Dec 1st 2017, 22:26 angelxmoreno something tells me @dereuromark already has the solution hidden somewhere :P
# Dec 1st 2017, 22:26 angelxmoreno Greetings bakers! I am working with a CakeForm class and I am defining its schema. I feel weird having to change the view when I change the form object in order to add new fields. It feels "uncake-like". Is there an undocumented helper that takes the form object and creates the view using the already defined schema in the Form object?
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:51 obinoob phantomwatson actually I can only see beforeSave in table and data it will be accessed with $event->getData('entity) https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/controllers/components/authentication.html
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:47 obinoob and my english doesn't help much either
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:46 obinoob I thought that cake had some key value option to do this kind of work hidden in the book somewhere...
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:45 phantomwatson It definitely takes some work. Remember to check https://stackoverflow.com/ for answers too.
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:44 obinoob *I'm
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:44 obinoob I starting now with events so it is a total new thing for me today i've used for the first time beforeMarshal() I'm alone here man only count with channel help and cake website it's hard some times I take more than a day to achieve some basic stuff!
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:42 phantomwatson It's okay. This stuff is complicated.
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:41 obinoob yes I got that I wasn't paying attention I apologise
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:41 phantomwatson So the code that I posted would normally be wrapped in `if ($this->request->is('post') {}`
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:41 obinoob sorry I was read https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/table-objects.html#beforesave
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:40 phantomwatson The code that I posted was in the context of a controller method. `$this->request` isn't available in a table.
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:39 obinoob beforeSave() in table right?
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:37 obinoob and make them ->empty('number')
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:37 phantomwatson Like ``` $data = $this->request->getData(); foreach ($data as $datum) { ... (if a number is empty(), remove that 'Phone' member from $data) ... } ```
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:36 phantomwatson Though there's likely a more elegant solution involving putting that logic in a `beforeSave()` callback.
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:36 phantomwatson If it were me, I'd loop through the request data and remove empty phone numbers before saving.
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:34 obinoob the thing is how can it be done?
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:34 obinoob exactly
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:34 phantomwatson It sounds like you need to actually `allowEmpty('number')` and then add some logic in your controller or `PhonesTable` that ignores any `Phone`s with empty numbers instead of saving them to the database.
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:32 phantomwatson Is there any error that is still occurring that you would like help solving?
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:32 obinoob but then I need to provide two phone number as they are not allowed to be empty...
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:32 obinoob no, with not Empty() it will fail in validation as expected
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:31 phantomwatson Even after you added the `notEmpty()` validation rule?
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:30 obinoob at phones table
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:30 obinoob no they are not however the entity is filling up the id and client_id automatically and filling the phone number with null
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:29 phantomwatson So they're not obligated to enter two phone numbers?
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:29 obinoob only saving whats available
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:29 obinoob quite the opposite I only want to save registry in database if available I can't predict if client has or wants to give phone number that are the business rules get that so I can't force them to be required
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:27 phantomwatson It sounds like you need some client-side validation to require values for both phone numbers. if you also include `$validator->requirePresence('number')`, I think the FormHelper will automatically mark the field as required, and modern browsers will automatically prevent the form from being submitted until a value is entered.
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:24 obinoob but the deal is it will fail and I'm obligated to enter two phone numbers
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:24 obinoob sorry not it doesn't
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:23 obinoob yes it does
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:23 phantomwatson Even after you add the `notEmpty()` validation rule it still saves empty values for `number`?
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:22 obinoob phantomwatson the first time it will save empty but the second the "NULL" value is duplicated in DB and by then it will throw a SQL exception at uniqueness constraint
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:19 obinoob phantomwatson INSERT INTO `phones` (`number`, `client_id`, `created`) VALUES (NULL, 44, '2017-12-01 20:38:05')
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:19 phantomwatson In the `PhonesTable` class, try adding `$validator->notEmpty('number');` to `validationDefault()` and removing `allowEmpty('number')` if it's there.
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:18 obinoob phantomwatson entity is saving empty phone...
# Dec 1st 2017, 21:15 phantomwatson What is the error that you're trying to correct?
