Persist with multiple linked entities about cakephp-fixture-factories HOT 6 CLOSED

Ok i will try that.

I added the OrdersProducts relationship because i had problems with created modified when doing :

 ->with('Products[5]')

I'll do some test and come back to you soon.

Hi @Drfloo,

chaining associations is definitely supported by the package.

Here is an example aiming at reproducing the scenario you propose: https://github.com/vierge-noire/cakephp-fixture-factories/blob/main/tests/TestCase/Factory/BaseFactoryAssociationsTest.php#L690

Could the issue come from the definition of your associations?

Hi ! Thanks a lot Juan !

It's weird that it's not working for me.

Here's my relations for OrdersTable :

$this->hasMany('OrdersProducts');
$this->belongsToMany('Products');
$this->belongsTo('ShippingServices', [
'foreignKey' => 'shipping_service_id',
]);

I am a bit clueless. I have added a second test here, that reproduces even more closely your relations set:
https://github.com/vierge-noire/cakephp-fixture-factories/blob/next/tests/TestCase/Factory/BaseFactoryAssociationsTest.php#L714

Generally in your case I would get rid of the OrdersProducts association, as it is trivial, and use only the Products association. That might help...

->with('Products', 5) works too and is a bit faster to write, imo.

Following your pm, if you have issues with date stamp fields, you may add them in the default template of your factories, so they get populated by default.

This is generally not necessary, as illustrated in this test, but I have seen a few setups where this was required.
