# Jun 13th 2019, 14:40 swimboy I have an app that I’ve built in 3.7, and have a short-term need for a small subset of it as a separate app. I figured it would be a good test-case for the alpha release.
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:39 neon1024 I should upgrade my test app to alpha2 also! Good reminder
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:39 neon1024 But as you say we’ve no idea what @swimboy is trying out! Good job testing the alphas though :thumbsup:
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:38 neon1024 I prefer it for testing the release as it’s a fixed point for the core team to work from, whereas a commit hash can be a little more frustrating I think
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:38 dereuromark if its just about testing things this would be fine
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:38 neon1024 https://semver.mwl.be/#?package=cakephp%2Fcakephpandversion=4.0.0-alpha2andminimum-stability=alpha
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:38 dereuromark you could also just use 4.x-dev :slightly_smiling_face: I do that
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:36 neon1024 Don’t you need to specify special releases exactly?
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:33 swimboy Is there a reason that I can install 4.0.0-alpha1 via composer, but not alpha2? I used the command `composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app:4.0.0-alpha1 myproject`. And even `composer update` won’t pick up alpha2 from an installation of alpha1.
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:29 ricksaccous what lars said
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:29 ricksaccous yeah
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:28 ricksaccous you need the NameOfMigration
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:28 lars.ebert If it is empty or contains no commands, then something went wrong when creating the migration.
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:28 ricksaccous to the bin/cake bake migration_snapshot NAmeOfMigration
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:28 lars.ebert @noel Take a look into the config/migrations folder. There you should see a file for your migration snapshot. If you open that file, you should see the migration that `bake` created for you.
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:28 ricksaccous are you sure the migration was even created in the first place because you are supposed to add an argument
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:26 ricksaccous seems your snapshot wasn't that good then i suppose
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:26 ricksaccous when he tried to run the migration again
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:26 ricksaccous if he deleted the whole db it should have worked
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:22 dereuromark use "migrations status" to check for details on each step
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:21 dereuromark or did you also clear those?
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:21 dereuromark they have been marked as migrated for a reason there
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:21 dereuromark you cant just remove/clear tables
# Jun 13th 2019, 14:11 noel Not really understanding migrations. I created a migration from my db using `bin/cake bake migration_snapshot`, then I cleared my db to test the migration and ran `bin/cake migrations migrate`, which reported success but no tables were created in the db?
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:25 dereuromark yeah thats why we use it :slightly_smiling_face: with an IDE it is even just single clicks.
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:23 noel It's quite useful if you're still designing and prototyping because sometimes table names changes and such.
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:22 noel It's fine I can use `git clean -df` instead.
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:15 dereuromark overwriting is more common here
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:15 dereuromark thats not a general use case
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:15 dereuromark no
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:14 noel Is there a bake command to delete scaffolding?
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:09 awi I considered this way, but it is sort of unhandy.
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:07 awi Well I am trying to find out if something may be associated authorization-wise...
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:06 inoas https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/associations.html#using-the-through-option
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:06 office @conehead I exported Cake DB and copied the code to local machine. I ran DB and changed settings in the database.php. Now there are two things i am not sure about - do i need to run `php composer.phar update` in the XAMPP Shell and how will i understand that it is ok?
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:06 inoas and for the relationship use through
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:06 inoas and use existsIn
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:06 inoas awi my gut tells me: setup the join table as a real table class
# Jun 13th 2019, 13:03 awi hi. just another question from me... Can I somehow pass the _ids provided for a belongsToMany association through buildRules? Or any other sort of Validation alike?
# Jun 13th 2019, 12:43 inoas it seems that the initial form always and only builds on validationDefault() even if you specify another key in validates it also executes the default
# Jun 13th 2019, 12:43 inoas so I want to setup another validationX method in my table for the default validation e.g. fetching if a field is required=>true etc
