you're date value isn't even being read |

wait a minute |

Mar 25th 2019, 17:43 |
ricksaccous |
only should have to do it in validator |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:42 |

Hrmm. I've tried using ```['Y']``` and ```['y']``` in both the view and validator, there appears to be no effect |

ricksaccous |
you should also probably give smarter error messages so you know what rule got triggered |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:40 |
ricksaccous |
instead of a capital Y |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:40 |
ricksaccous |
i think you just need a lowercase y |

| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:39 |
ricksaccous |
you'll see that the date validator is the one triggered |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:39 |
ricksaccous |
so i think the answer is pretty simple |

done; added a new file to the gist, "Debug Output" |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:36 |
ricksaccous |
add the resulting debug information to the gist if you want |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:36 |
this.impetus |
ah. brilliant. sec. |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:35 |
ricksaccous |
and that will give more information to proceed |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:35 |
ricksaccous |
you should see which validation rule triggered for the year to be invalid |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:35 |
ricksaccous |
exit; |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:35 |
ricksaccous |
after this line debug($assignment); |

... I am terribly sorry; assuming you're indicating a specific means of debugging, I don't know how to do that. |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:31 |
ricksaccous |
have you tried debugging the entity after patching it? |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:31 |
this.impetus |
yeah, ```<?=$this->Form->control('academic_year', ['type'=>'year', 'minYear'=>1950, 'maxYear'=>date('Y')]);?>``` creates a dropdown select |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:31 |
ricksaccous |
@this.impetus it might be helpful to see what error is triggering, is it the integer rule that causes it to trigger? |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:30 |
ricksaccous |
eh it's prob with the type year stuff |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:29 |
ricksaccous |
is it working like a dropdown? |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:29 |
ricksaccous |
i don't see a dropdown? |

gist up your model, controller, and view |

So the database expects a year, the form records a year, my validator expects a year... but I am getting "The provided value is invalid" on my front end. |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:11 |
this.impetus |
hrmm. upon closer inspection I think I have the form set up correctly in any case: <?=$this->Form->control('academic_year', ['type'=>'year', 'minYear'=>1950, 'maxYear'=>date('Y')]);?> |

The browser always sends strings. The entity marshaller then converts it to the database field type. |

... and apparently backticks aren't how you indicate code in slack... new to this as well.. thanks for putting up wth me |

I tried changing `$validator ->integer('academic_year',)` to `$validator ->date('academic_year', ['y'])` but this produced the same result |
| # |

subsequently, an integer is no longer sent to the controller when a record is created, and the validator is complaining. I am certain there is some dead-simple solution here that I am missing, but I am extremely new to cake3 |

*created a text field |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:04 |
this.impetus |
but the baked forms, because I indicated that the year column should be an integer, created a text. When I manually edited it to create a dropdown menu listing n-years the form broke; now I get validation errors |
| # |
Mar 25th 2019, 17:04 |

I don't get the question. |

when I baked it, yes |
