# Sep 4th 2019, 13:57 ricksaccous just to forego that error message
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:57 ricksaccous so maybe you want to do allowEmptyString('whatever', true)
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:57 ricksaccous once you plop a rule on a field it's deemed not allowed to be empty
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:57 ricksaccous that's why you're getting that weird error message
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:57 ricksaccous usually the notEmpty rule is automatically applied unless you turn it off and that's the error message that pops up
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:57 davorminchorov @ricksaccous nope
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:56 jotpe and without the namespace?
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:56 ricksaccous @davorminchorov did you specify allowEmptyString?
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:56 dereuromark class name? basic php get_class() I would think
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:55 jotpe For Tables I can use ->alias();
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:55 jotpe Hey! What's the way of getting the classname of an Entity when I have the object?
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:52 davorminchorov notBlank for other fields I mean, not the one in the add() method specifically
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:52 neon1024 Probably don’t want notBlank then I suppose

# Sep 4th 2019, 13:51 davorminchorov Thanks!
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:51 davorminchorov it's a string 0 :)
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:50 neon1024 Good luck :thumbsup:
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:50 neon1024 That’s me out of ideas :slightly_smiling_face:
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:50 davorminchorov in the same table class
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:50 davorminchorov I have a notBlank rule before that one
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:50 neon1024 Maybe you’ve put the rule in the wrong table class?
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:50 neon1024 Perhaps I can set manager_not_required to 0 so PHP thinks it’s empty and also empty manager_id
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:49 neon1024 Do you have a `last` option on another rule, perhaps you’re failing an earlier validation rule and it never reaches this rule
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:48 davorminchorov no, that's an ID value but it should be required if the manager_not_required is 0
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:48 neon1024 Sounds more like a foreign key to me
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:48 neon1024 So a boolean for `assignment_manager_id` ?
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:47 davorminchorov the data is there
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:47 davorminchorov it's a select dropdown with 0 and 1 values
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:47 neon1024 Probably worth ensuring that the data exists in the request data would be my first stop
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:46 neon1024 Unless of course it’s a checkbox and you happen to have `hiddenField => false` in your options, perhaps the request data never contains the field to validate
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:46 davorminchorov I do have but not on the same model
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:45 neon1024 I see it’s a double conditional!
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:45 neon1024 You could just `return !$managerNotRequired` surely?
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:44 neon1024 When you’re casting it to int above
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:44 neon1024 Plus this seems very odd `return ! $managerNotRequired ? (bool) $value : true;`
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:44 neon1024 Do you have another rule called `custom` ?
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:33 slackebot reason the message is a generic one: `This field cannot be left empty` and the check does not seem to be triggered in the closure. Any ideas what's missing here?
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:33 davorminchorov Hi! I have the following custom validation rule in my table class: ``` $validator->add('assignment_manager_id', 'custom', [ 'rule' => function ($value, $context) { $managerNotRequired = (int) $context['data']['manager_not_required']; return ! $managerNotRequired ? (bool) $value : true; }, 'message' => 'Manager selection is required', ]); ``` For some
# Sep 4th 2019, 13:14 spriz We killed it after figuring out cake query distinct added `GROUP BY` :) :)
