And you can still use your concatenated keys like normal, but they just aren't primary for that table.. they should still act the same way, but instead I think you would use both concatenated as a `UNIQUE` key |
| # |

So the safest way I've found is to use an `id` field as your primary |

And, it might not support it yet actually! Not sure how closely one has to follow a certain convention |
| # |

daniel.upshaw |
That's right -- Ideally I would set it up that way... And it's probably possible to do this in a Cake way that supports it, but it's may take some digging to find out how |

or for that matter how to write migrations / SQL CREATE statements for the things it does support? |

@waspinator there isn’t much bake documentation… how would one tell if bake supports something? |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 20:30 |
waspinator |
if it bakes your models, make sure to remove any auto generated code which references a `parents` table |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 20:29 |
waspinator |
oh I see. I haven't had a chance to make one like that yet, so I'm not sure if it's supported by bake |
| # |

Normal, non-self-referencing many to many associations work fine with bake. I’m not having trouble with those. It’s the self-referencing variety that I’m trying to conquer. |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 20:27 |
noel |
It’s supposed to be self-referencing. |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 20:26 |

But then it will look for the parents table. There is no parents table. |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 20:26 |
waspinator |
join tables should be named with their associated table names. so `tests_parents` instead of `tests_tests` |

Here’s the updated migration: ``` <?php use Migrations\AbstractMigration; class Initial extends AbstractMigration { public $autoId = false; public function up() { $this->table('tests') ->addColumn('id', 'integer', [ 'autoIncrement' => true, 'default' => null, 'limit' => 11, 'null' => false, 'signed' => false, ]) |

@waspinator ok I can make it so.. but it still doesn’t fix the error :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 20:23 |
waspinator |
there should only be a single primarykey, the `id` field. set use `$table->addIndex(['test_id', 'parent_id']);` instead |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 20:22 |
noel |
@waspinator tx for the feedback. it’s a link table for self-referenced many to many records from tests. You say it needs an id as well… why? It’s just a link table. Other many-to-many relationships work fine with Bake without their own id fields. Also adding the id field doesn’t fix the error. |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 20:16 |
waspinator |
your `tests_tests` table `belongsTo` the `tests` and `parent` tables, but it needs it's own `id` as well |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 20:15 |
waspinator |
normally every table should have an `id` column |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 20:14 |
waspinator |
what is `'tests_tests'` table supposed to be for? |

I’ve tried removing the Primary keys – it doesn’t change the error.. so for some reason it’s still saying “some of the primary key values are missing” |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 16:40 |
noel |
@josbeir but I’ve selected tests from the select – which should define parent_id. Also having null values in a link table will cause any many to many relationship to break. |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 16:38 |
noel |
If not concatenated keys, then which should be primary? It’s a link table – my understanding is that for link tables both are primary. What do you suggest instead? |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 16:37 |
noel |
What do you mean by this? “That, and giving Cake the expected table names for the relationships” |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 16:36 |
noel |
@daniel.upshaw Yes I’m using the same table names as in the SO post. |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 16:24 |
daniel.upshaw |
And add `lft` and `rght` columns |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 16:23 |
daniel.upshaw |
You would add this behavior to your `tests` table: https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/behaviors/tree.html |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 16:23 |
daniel.upshaw |
I like using concatenated keys... but in the case of Cake/bake, I try to keep it simpler.. There may be some way to make it use concatenated keys, but you might use an `id` column on your pivot table.. Why wouldn't your `parent_id` be in the test table itself? |
| # |
May 2nd 2019, 16:22 |
daniel.upshaw |
Oh... also it looks like you are using a concatenated key, that could be the issue |
