I am Android Developer. I have started learning Laravel and I have a sample project that I am currently understanding. There are functions which are not being called from anywhere. This function has to be called on a event. On running the project the functions are called and working fine. How to know from where the functions are triggered.
I have searched the whole project for those functions and only can find one result where the function is declared, not from where its been called. I have looked in Event and Listeners folders, but can't find anything. Please help I have to complete a project which has a soon approaching deadline.
public static function generateInvoice($user,$case){
// Do Something
}
Throw exception inside that function and run it if you can do it by clicking on web app (or call request in other way) - if no then try to find in project source code by its name (multifile full text search).
throw new Exception('Test exception to get stacktrace');
or new \Exception(...). This will show you stacktrace as request result and/or you will find it in storage/logs/laravel.log file
Just go to terminal and run a grep query. That's how I mostly find things in an unknown project.
So go to terminal then, go to the app folder of the project:
cd root_of_the_pj_path/app
and then run a grep with the name of the function, like so:
grep -rlh 'generateInvoice('
It should list where the function has been defined as well as called/triggered.
I hope it helps

So I installed Phalcon and the phalcon devtools. When I try anything, it throws an error (Generate model, generate controller and scaffolding). Looked around and I can see other people had this problem but I cannot find a solution.
Generate Model page:
Error on generate:
webtools.config.php:
define('PTOOLS_IP', '192.168.0.81');
define('PTOOLSPATH', 'C:/phalcon-tools/vendor/phalcon/devtools');
Error on generate controller:
Please specify a controller directory
Error on generate model:
Database configuration cannot be loaded from your config file
Error on scaffolding:
Adapter was not found in the config. Please specify a config variable [database][adapter]
Had this same issue the other day. I found a work around but it's far from ideal.
Find
\devtools\scripts\Phalcon\Builder\
And open Components.php
Inside this file find the line:
foreach (array('/app/config/', 'config/') as $configPath) {
This line needs to be either:
(array('/../app/config/' <- For model Generator to work.
or
(array('../app/config/' <- For scaffolding Generator to work.
I can't for the life of me work why, and it's far from ideal trying to remember to do it every time you need to use the tools, but it works.
I'm new to php and i'm using log4php with laravel.
My project structure is
->Root
->Laravel
->app
->folderx
->abc.php
->otherfolders
.
.
->vendor
->composer.json (contains log4php and laravel)
->logconfig.xml
I'm trying to initialize the logger from inside abc.php,
Logger::configure('../../../logconfig.xml');
but it gives the error message
Class 'Apache\Log4php\Hierarchy' not found
I verified that the class Hierarchy.php exists in the vendor/apache/log4php/src under Root folder. Also, if I open Logger.php and go to the line where Hierarchy in initialized and ctrl+click(in eclipse) on Hierarchy, it takes me to Hierarchy.php.
I'm trying to figure out why php is not able to find that class.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
That error message shows that your PHP is looking for a namespaced class. Log4PHP has never been released until now with namespaces (up to version 2.3.0), so this is definitely weird.
If you accidentially use the development branch of the 3.0 version, I must currently suggest not to use it. It barely got any significant commits in the last year, and should be considered work in progress (very slow progress unfortunately).
Back from vacation, and when I'm trying to run one of my previously working command:
php artisan list
Throws me:
[root#api2]# php artisan list
{"error":{"type":"Symfony\\Component\\Debug\\Exception\\FatalErrorException","message":"Call to a member function getArgument() on a non-object","file":"\/var\/www\/html\/api2.alariscms.com\/vendor\/laravel\/framework\/src\/Illuminate\/Console\/Command.php","line":153}}
And I seriously cannot understand why this happens. I tried debugging the file that throws an error. It awaits argument:
InputInterface $input but it gets NULL
I don't know what can go wrong on a framework level to stop receiving the required object.
Any ideas where to start debugging from? Or I can reload configurations / update laravel via cmd?
Thanks
This is what I would do:
php artisan dump
composer dump-autoload
check for current Laravel version
and then go to that specific command and check for bug there.
Also, what kind of argument are you trying to pass to command ? Is that object - if so check where is implementation of that class ?
I've tried testing my commands in Laravel 4, as they are significant part of my system, but it seems like the documentation coverage is so poor, that they only explain basic testing of controllers and some models.
In Commands, you can pass arguments via command line to the class and it's received via $this->input property, something I don't know how to emulate.
Whenever I try to run the test for my command, when it expects an argument in "fire" method, I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getArgument() on a non-object in /var/www/html/project/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Console/Command.php on line 153
Which is logical, there's no argument passed. Is there a way to test this functionality?...
Thanks
Most of it can be done using Symfony Command Tester (since Command is based on Symfony Console), example: http://alexandre-salome.fr/blog/Test-your-commands-in-Symfony2. However this would start to fail if you have to call another artisan command such as $this->call('db:seed'); or etc because this is actually Illuminate\Console\Application specific syntax.
I'm all open if there anyone that have a solution for above scenario.
I have recently made a post about Testing Laravel commands.
If you have a specific part of code that you want to use in multiple commands then you have to move that part of the code somewhere where both commands can use it (Event handler, trait, another class ...) and then in your command reference that code instead of using $this->call('db:seed');
I want to use php in console mode and create an environment to test my functions.
I do not want to be forced to use a web browser and create a new file each time I want to test a function.
I want to access the function in the console and then it return the result.
How do I do this?
Update:
Perhaps I have explained this badly. I only want to see what result the function's return.
Maybe I have to learn unit testing but for the moment I only want an interactive console which allows me to test all functions one by one.
In my case I have to load the wordpress functions (I know how do it with a regular .php file and then a browser to parse the file) but i don't if it is possible to do it with php from the command line.
I have used phpsh in the past and found it very useful. Once you start it you will need to chdir() to where your files are and then obviously require() any files containing functions you need to test. You can then just test your function calls by typing them into the shell e.g. var_dump(some_function(1, 2));
I guess you've to be more specific what kind of functions exactly. Wordpress does not provide something like that out of the box, most PHP apps won't.
I also think you're calling for trouble here when such apps aren't developed in mind for such environments.
Here's an example trying to call "current_time()" from functions.php and the attempts I had to do just to realize it won't work that way:
php -r 'require "functions.php"; var_dump(current_time("mysql"));'
gives
Fatal error: Call to undefined function apply_filters() in functions.php on line 346
Trying
php -r 'require "functions.php"; require "plugin.php"; var_dump(current_time("mysql"));'
gives
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_cache_get() in functions.php on line 351
Trying
php -r 'require "functions.php"; require "plugin.php"; require "cache.php"; var_dump(current_time("mysql"));'
gives
Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in cache.php on line 93
Looking at the last error in the source I see
function wp_cache_get($id, $flag = '') {
global $wp_object_cache;
return $wp_object_cache->get($id, $flag);
}
Using global variables makes testing in other environments a PITA if not impossible.
If this is not what you're trying to do, you've to be more specific/detailed in your question.
You are going to want to read up on "Unit Testing" in a generic sense and then try and apply them to PHP.
The framework you are using (if any), the style of code, and the tests you want to run are going to determine the exact methods you need to use. Only by first understanding the concept of Unit Tests and implementing them into your coding best-practices will you be able to make progress in this regard.
How about:
php -a
And if you compile php with readline support it'll be more fancy.
