# Apr 25th 2019, 15:46 neon1024 Probably worth checking the plugins to check they support your version of cakephp
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:46 neon1024 So there is one which is doing it incorrectly
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:46 neon1024 Well it looks to me like plugins are adding commands for bin/cake
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:45 this.impetus which makes me think bin/cake, rather than the call to bake all, is where the problem starts.
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:44 this.impetus ooook... that actually results in the same `Exception: Call to a member function addMany() on null` error
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:43 neon1024 Also worth a `bin/cake cache clear_all` to ensure it’s not a cached error
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:43 this.impetus nah it's comforting to know that I'm rightfully stumped ;P
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:42 neon1024 Yeah, and without seeing the code it’s hard to give any insight, sorry
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:42 this.impetus so it's difficult to assess why it's returning null, or what it ought to have returned
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:41 this.impetus I duno what `$this->app->pluginConsole()` does, or which bit of `$commands` it was intended to use
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:41 this.impetus But *after* 142, `$commands` is null
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:40 slackebot 'Cake\Shell\OrmCacheShell', 'plugin' => 'Cake\Shell\PluginShell', 'routes' => 'Cake\Shell\RoutesShell', 'schema_cache' => 'Cake\Shell\SchemaCacheShell', 'server' => 'Cake\Shell\ServerShell', 'console' => 'App\Shell\ConsoleShell' ] } ```
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:40 this.impetus at line 142 in `vendor/cakephp/src/Console/CommandRunner.php` I ran `debug()` on `$commands`; prints ```########## DEBUG ########## object(Cake\Console\CommandCollection) { [protected] commands => [ 'version' => 'Cake\Command\VersionCommand', 'help' => 'Cake\Command\HelpCommand', 'cache' => 'Cake\Shell\CacheShell', 'completion' => 'Cake\Shell\CompletionShell', 'i18n' => 'Cake\Shell\I18nShell', 'orm_cache' =>
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:39 this.impetus Well I can see where the dilemma arises, but i know far too little about cake's machinery to make sense of it. Here's where I'm at:
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:34 this.impetus ok I'll go down that rabbit hole, ty
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:34 neon1024 That should have a stacktrade to tell you where stuff went wrong
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:33 neon1024 If it’s a command line it should be in `/logs/cli-error.log`
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:33 neon1024 Did you check the logs?
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:33 neon1024 So maybe here, https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/c15a2e9c1933fa5a874c33d2bcb6d63efacf8876/src/Http/BaseApplication.php#L206
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:33 this.impetus It will sadden us both that i don't really understand that last sentence, alas.
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:32 neon1024 So perhaps it’s a plugin with a Shell class
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:32 this.impetus But I am pretty damn sure everything is right in the database. The table certainly exists, and the tables it references were extant in the project before I added the HABTM table. just `images`, `publications` and `images_publications`
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:32 neon1024 https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/e6c40f7814039e68abe2c11721d0cda4b6c4cb54/src/Console/CommandCollection.php#L85
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:31 this.impetus That was my first thought
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:31 this.impetus `vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/Core/BasePlugin.php, line 248`
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:31 neon1024 As `addMany()` feels like a Table class method. Which if it is, just means the table isn’t instanciated
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:30 neon1024 Does the stacktrace give you a line number or class?
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:30 this.impetus I know PHP, or once knew; then I moved to python, then to front-end, and now php is a distant memory I'm trying to recover haha. So anyway, the most current version of bake is indeed installed, but the error, `Exception: Call to a member function addMany() on null` remains
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:30 neon1024 Well in other news, according to packagist, `cakephp/bake` doesn’t require `twig/twig`, but instead uses Wryhaximus’ twig plugin, which might in turn use twig
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:29 neon1024 It’s like trying to learn Sass without knowing CSS otherwise
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:28 neon1024 Yeah, do PHP first, and Cake second
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:28 this.impetus I'm getting the hang of it; often it's jsut the presumption that there's a cakey or cake-specific way thigns ought to be done that stumps me
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:28 neon1024 Well, pretty much all package managers are really ;)
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:28 neon1024 But if you’ve used `npm` or `yarn` then `composer` is very similar
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:28 this.impetus Which is where I hitherto lived. Thanks for your patience and assistance.
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:27 neon1024 ..but that’s more front-end developer territory imho
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:27 neon1024 Not with PHP at least, no. CSS mastery might slide into backend through Javascript, Node.js and Webpack
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:27 neon1024 https://packagist.org/packages/cakephp/bake
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:26 this.impetus That is terribly obvious. ok. thanks. CSS mastery really doesn't translate to the back end, hey?
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:26 neon1024 I’d probably just do `composer clearcache andand composer update cakephp/bake`
# Apr 25th 2019, 15:26 neon1024 The package is `twig/twig`
