# Mar 25th 2019, 17:47 ricksaccous debug that before you patch
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:47 ricksaccous yeah, you can customize them
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:47 ricksaccous debug $this->getRequest->getData();
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:47 this.impetus to be honest that makes me feel significantly better :P the error message, sadly, is also baked in
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:47 ricksaccous can you
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:46 ricksaccous i'm not even sure about the default way this works, lol damn
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:46 ricksaccous wait
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:46 ricksaccous look at the 'dirty' fields of your entity
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:44 this.impetus How's that? lines 15 and 41 in the entity both refer to 'academic_year'
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:44 ricksaccous it's not even in your assignment entity
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:44 ricksaccous it's not being passed in
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:43 ricksaccous you're date value isn't even being read
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:43 ricksaccous lol
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:43 ricksaccous wait a minute
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:43 ricksaccous only should have to do it in validator
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:42 this.impetus Hrmm. I've tried using ```['Y']``` and ```['y']``` in both the view and validator, there appears to be no effect
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:42 ricksaccous https://api.cakephp.org/3.7/class-Cake.Validation.Validation.html#_date
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:41 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, 17:40 ricksaccous https://api.cakephp.org/3.7/class-Cake.Validation.Validator.html#_date
# 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
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:37 this.impetus 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);
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:35 ricksaccous @this.impetus https://gist.github.com/jmwmulle/497103a7510ca52cb3d7f18b578a80ea#file-controller-L64
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:32 this.impetus ... 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?
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:15 this.impetus https://gist.github.com/jmwmulle/497103a7510ca52cb3d7f18b578a80ea
# Mar 25th 2019, 17:13 this.impetus on it. thanks for pateince
