or this in your controllers `initialize()` function ``` public function initialize() { parent::initialize(); $this->loadModel('ModelName'); } ``` |
| # |
Apr 22nd 2019, 03:59 |

or if its an associated model use `$this->ThisModelName->AssociatedModelName` |

@hollistergraham123 it has to be the model the controller belongs to. otherwise you need to use `use Cake\ORM\TableRegistry;` and `$ModelName = TableRegistry::get('ModelName');` |

My mailer is already tested and mocked but the Integration fails due to wkhtmltopdf exec being missing |

@admad how would you test a controller? Basically my controller calls my custom Mailer which then calls CakePdf to generate a PDF via WkHtmlToPdf however in docker installing WkHtmlToPdf is a huge PITA. So I still want to test the controller but Mock CakePdf->output() |

Nvm. Figured it out. Can’t pass an array of table classes. Have to do them one at a time. |

Hey, when doing a select the documentation says I can pass the table class to the query to select all fields from that table. But when I pass $this->Tablename in a controller I get an error that says, ‘Can’t convert class to string’. Does anyone know what i’m doing wrong? |

You shouldn't me mocking stuff in integration tests |

So I’m doing integration testing via $this->post(‘/url’); and I need to mock up some part of the controller. How would I go about mocking part of the controller |

when saving belongs-to-many-associations you can either use an array of properties **OR** a list of _ids, but not both right? `both arrays of properties, as well as a list of ids at the _ids key` https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/saving-data.html#saving-belongstomany-associations |

perfect, thanks |

Make a table class for it and attached the behaviour. Then specify the class name in belongtomany association using `through` key |
| # |

is there a way of adding the Timestamp behavior into a join table? |

OK, I've reverted the changes I made to the validator code, moved the locale code from the AppController to the bootstrap and now everything is working. Thanks for your help. (I think my original problem was my bootstrap.php file was old and didn't have the I18n block in it like the one you linked to above. I copied that in and referenced the I18n namespaces at the top.) |

I was only looking at the validator code to understand what was going on. |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 20:59 |
swimboy |
I understand that I shouldn't muck around in the validator code, I just wanted to set up the date validator once, instead of each table class file. |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 20:54 |
admad |
And stop mucking around with the validator code, just specific the format to use when setting up the validator in your table class |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 20:52 |

@swimboy you are supposed to enable locale based datetime string parsing here https://github.com/cakephp/app/blob/master/config/bootstrap.php#L181 |

If I change the default in ``function dateTime`` and ``function date`` to ``'mdy'`` it works just fine. Obviously, I don't want to do that in a production setting. Is there a way in my own code to override the behavior of the date and dateTime validators in a single location rather than adding it as a separate parameter everywhere I validate a date in a table? |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 20:12 |

Digging even deeper, I found this line in the Validator.php file: ``` public function dateTime($field, $formats = ['ymd'], $message = null, $when = null)``` which looks to me like the default behavior for date validation is expecting the date in year,month,day order unless another format is specified when the validator is called. It seems to me that this default should pick up the format from setLocaleFormat, should it not? |
| # |

@ricksaccous I just discovered that the code I had above works, but I had to disable the date validation rule. It would fail if I had a date in any format other than yyyy-MM-dd. Is there somewhere I can tell the validator what format to expect the date to be in (or is there a reason why it would ignore the setLocaleFormat?) |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 19:05 |
swimboy |
@ricksaccous I'm getting closer, but I'm still missing something. I have this in AppController.php ``` Type::build('datetime')->useLocaleParser()->setLocaleFormat('M/d/yyyy'); Date::setToStringFormat('M/d/yyyy');``` And it displays dates as M/d/yyyy, but it still errors out unless I enter dates as 2019-04-19 |

im creating new Note (instead of using it from fixture) on each test because i need to create openssl_signature with logged in user. Its good idea or its better to use fixtures? |

hmmmm |

Apr 19th 2019, 18:42 |

so DateTimeType->setLocaleFormat('') and then you can set the format |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 18:42 |
ricksaccous |
I think in bootstrap or Application.php or something you can setLocaleFormat() |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 18:41 |
ricksaccous |
if you look at DateTimeType.php |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 18:41 |

i seeeee |

Yeah, that gets us right back where we started. The JS is returning it in one format, but CakePHP wants another format. I'm trying to find a way that I can display an input all my dates in m/d/Y format, but have the data saved to the database as Y-m-d. |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 18:39 |
ricksaccous |
'Y-m-d' |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 18:38 |
ricksaccous |
i think the format it wants is |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 18:38 |
ricksaccous |
heheeh |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 18:38 |
swimboy |
Yeah, that's what it looks like. If I use the standard date picker, it returns an object with year, month, and day values. When I use the JS, it returns the string "4/17/2019". |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 18:37 |

i think cake MIGHT expect a certain format for date in request data to format it into FrozenDate, hmph |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 18:33 |
swimboy |
Yes, it is. I'm digging into the code, and there's some JS that's generating a pop-up calendar to enter the date. It must be causing a problem with CakePHP being able to parse the input as a date when it's returned. |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 18:29 |
ricksaccous |
is it a date field in the schema? |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 18:29 |
ricksaccous |
@swimboy that doesn't sound right at all, it should be just changing it based on it's type |
| # |
Apr 19th 2019, 18:13 |
swimboy |
In the request data, it's '4/17/2019' |
