SQLServer 2012, Bake Issue when Views present. about bake

[markstory]

How are you calling bake when you hit this error? Are you trying to bake classes for the view?

I am doing cake bake model [viewName]

Also we only use models and controllers since everything we do is rest/ajax calls to get json data back, so have a view file is not needed for us 95% of the time.

By view I meant are you baking models for a database view?

No i was baking a model for a Table on a MSSQL 2012 DB and the view is causing an error to occur, saying [view_name]. "it has 0 columns" . If i go to bake a model for the actual view, the same error happens as well. So to clarify, whether i'm baking a model for an actual table or a view, the same error happens which is directly related to there being a view present in the database, since I had no issues baking the same DB when it was mirrored and the views were removed from the db.

also just to add - We have a fully functional CakePHP 2.x build working off the same DB with zero issues.
hope that helps.

First error says:
Exception: Cannot describe [view_name]. it has 0 columns in app\vendor\cakephp\cakephp\src\Database\Schema\Collection.php, line98

Thanks, I suspect the views are being included in the list of 'tables' when it should not be.

Pull request up for cakephp/cakephp that fixes views being included in the list of 'tables'.

Mark,

In CakePHP 2.0 we were able to Bake models off Views, will this not be the case in 3? And if so, should we treat them as models/entities if we're creating them manually?

@tgr0ss you can create manually, but you will need to manually specify the schema object for the table that maps to the view. We are looking into ways to improve this

Thank you.

cakephp/cakephp#6501 is the current issue for improving schema reflection on SQLServer views.
