TYPO3 extension to kickstart and maintain TYPO3 extensions

_ _ _ _ _

TYPO3 Extension extension_builder

The Extension Builder helps you to develop a TYPO3 extension based on the domain-driven MVC framework Extbase and the templating engine Fluid.

It provides a graphical modeler to define domain objects and their relations as well as associated controllers with basic actions. It also provides a properties form to define extension metadata, frontend plugins and backend modules that use the previously defined controllers and actions. Finally, it generates a basic extension that can be installed and further developed.

In addition to the kickstart mode, the Extension Builder also provides a roundtrip mode that allows you to use the graphical editor even after you have started making manual changes to the files. In this mode, the Extension Builder retains the manual changes, such as new methods, changed method bodies, comments and annotations, even if you change the extension in the graphical editor.

extension_builder's Issues

Avoid duplicate and unnecessary key in csh language files

The files generated for the context sensitive help contain duplicate and unnecessary keys

Extension could not be saved without backend module

Env
TYPO3 8.6
PHP 7.1.3
"ebt/extension-builder": "8.6.x-dev"

When i try to save the extension I get:

Extension could not be saved: Could not create public resources folder, error: PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /app/web/typo3conf/ext/extension_builder/Classes/Service/FileGenerator.php line 631

If I add at least one backend module, it works.

Some existing icons are not loaded

Hello.
When you mouse over a model object or one of the people linked to a project, some icons are not loaded. It is necessary to modify the routes of the icons.

Modified ext_emconf File will be overwritten

hi,

if you use a 7.6 without composer and you need to add autoloading to the ext_emconf file, it will be overwritten within the next save from the extension_builder.

as long as it is possible to use typo3 without composer and you need autoloading stuff, the file should have the same "token" or something like the other files to make that possible.

thx.

Deprecation-Warnings related to "enableClickMenu"

Hi =)
I get those deprecation-warnings :
19.09.2017 16:24: [typo3conf/ext/extension_builder/Resources/Private/Templates/BuilderModule/Domainmodelling.html] The property "enableClickMenu" has been marked as deprecated. Setting "enableClickMenu" in Container ViewHelper is deprecated, the option will be removed in TYPO3 v9 Please check also your partial and layout files of this template
Can anybody fix those, please? thanks in advance

Model object property name: Cannot use arrow keys

I cannot use the arrow keys to navigate inside a property's name field because some javascript always moves the cursor back to the end. This prevents me from fixing typos.

mixed tab and space indentation in generated TCA file

The generated TCA php files have both spaces and tabs mixed for indentation. This should be unified to spaces.

incorrect escaping of html-chars

If the extension name or the extension description contains an ampersand (&) it will be escaped while writing for example ext_emconf.php or ext_tables.php.

This leads to a double-escaped ampersand in the extension builder, because the title will be escaped again.

I think, it should be enough to quote the strings and use raw-output for the rest:

$EM_CONF[$_EXTKEY] = [
    'title' => '<f:format.raw><k:format.quoteString>{extension.name}</k:format.quoteString></f:format.raw>',
    'description' => '<f:format.raw><k:format.quoteString>{extension.description}</k:format.quoteString></f:format.raw>',

Plugin declaration wrong

If you add a frontend plugin, then the icon and text is missing on creating a new contentelement/plugin.

Exception after extension activation if tx_flux also installed

I do have this issue for a really long time now and i wonder why nobody else has the same problem?!

The Exception is #1289843275: "extensionName" is not properly configured. Request can't be dispatched!

Any idea?

TYPO3: Current dev-master
Other Extensions: vhs, flux, realurl, ..

Suddenly Error Non-static method EBT\ExtensionBuilder\Parser\NodeFactory::buildNodeFromValue()

Hi. Working with TYPO3 8.7.4 with the dev-master of the extensionbuilder, that error appeared suddenly?

Extension could not be saved: Could not generate action controller, error: PHP Runtime Deprecation Notice: Non-static method EBT\ExtensionBuilder\Parser\NodeFactory::buildNodeFromValue() should not be called statically in /app/htdocs/typo3conf/ext/extension_builder/Classes/Parser/NodeFactory.php

An idea?

7.6: broken if no beModule or feModule

1343fad

use `declare(strict_types=1);` in all generated PHP files

Enforce strict typing wherever possible and feasible.

Graphical modeler collapses

Hello,

when I click on the following buttons, the whole modeler collapses like this:

To continue to edit or work with the models, I have to manually change the height of the elements in firebug/dev tools. Opening an existing extension to the modeler doesn't help. I can reproduce this in Chrome & Firefox.

I'm using the latest version of the extension_builder on Typo3 8.7.7

Add 'l10n_mode' to 'show advanced options'

It would be great if the 'l10n_mode' would be selectable after activating 'show advanced options' like 'is required' and 'is exclude field'.

Better TCA when extending models

Nicer handling of ext_base_type, field placement etc.

Saving extension not working

When saving an extension in extension builder an error occurs.

Error Message:
Uncaught TYPO3 Exception: Call to undefined method TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Configuration\ConfigurationManager::parseRequest() | Error thrown in file /var/www/html/typo3conf/ext/extension_builder/Classes/Controller/BuilderModuleController.php in line 172.

Domain Modelling doesn't show anything

I installed the extension builder in the backend. Introduction is visible but in domain modelling is nothing like on the image. Are there wrong references to files and data?

Push tags and add a release for TYPO3 8.7

Hey Hey :)

could you do me a favour and please add a Git Tag for each release and push it to GitHub?

Right now, when I use Composer, this extension may only be added with a "dev-master" version constraint. I would like to add specific versions however, to keep this extension working in different TYPO3 versions & setups.

When you do this, could you release a version for TYPO3 8 as well? The last relase in TER was 7.6.18 for TYPO3 7, on GitHub TYPO3 8 is supported but requires using "dev-master".

Move makeCategorizable call to overrides

The call to \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::makeCategorizable must be placed in Overrides/TCA/.php instead of ext_tables.php

Support typo3 v8.7

Good afternoon! Does your extension support version 8.7 and, if so, how do I configure the extension?
After installation, added a line to root composr.json "EBT\\ExtensionBuilder\\": "typo3conf/ext/extension_builder/Classes/", because there was an error in the backend
Could not analyse class: "EBT\ExtensionBuilder\Controller\BuilderModuleController" maybe not loaded or no autoloader? Class EBT\ExtensionBuilder\Controller\BuilderModuleController does not exist

Now, a white sheet and 500 error

Adjust generated tests and tests of ext itself to CMS 8 testing framework

Multiple relations to sys_category results in duplicat entries in ext_tables.sql

I have to make 2 relations to sys_category.
Configuring it like this:

I'm getting duplicate entries in ext_tables.sql:

# Table structure for table 'sys_category'
#
CREATE TABLE sys_category (

	product int(11) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,

	product int(11) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,

);

This worked in TYPO3 7.6 but not in 8.7

#40: The column 'product' on table 'sys_category' already exists. (More information)

Icon missing on introduction page

When visiting the extension builder backend module, the introduction page is shown.
On the top left an icon "open in new window" is shown. The icon is missing.

This is with TYPO3 7.6.15 and extension_builder git bab5938

Extension key not accepted

The Key defined under "Extension properties" doesn't pass the validation any more. With commit "ea250a85bedefc6e78a6770e93c1cb264282f07b" it works

Allow extensions prefixed with "user_"

Hi,
in past versions (and in last), is not allowed save extensions with prefix 'user_'. Much times, we work on specific projects and we've the need of write a cutom specific project extension. We start to create extension with exension_builder,but we are forced to modify extension, to allow to save new extension with prefix user_. Will be possible allow prefix 'user_' in this and in the next releases ?

Thank you,
Gianluca

Backend Module without CSS/JS in iframe

Version: 8.7.0
TYPO3: 8.7.3

I build a backend module and the form output is correct.
But the included content within the iframe is no standard html page.
There is no html-tag, no head and no body.

The main problem: all of the default css/js includes are missing, and so the styling of the backend forms is impossible.

Can you please give me a hint?

Thanks

Core ships PHP-parser now as well

Since https://forge.typo3.org/issues/76084 the core ships now the PHP-Parser as well which leads to conflicts as e.g. the ParserFactory class can not be found in the core because of the autoloading of extension_builder.
As a solution the extension_builder must use the core's version to be compatible with 9.0

composer.json is generated as package.json

Any reason for that?

Error in 8.7.4

We installed the current master in TYPO3 8.7.4 and get the following error

[module-tools_ExtensionBuilderExtensionbuilder] The option "source" is required and must not be empty

can you relate to that?

Rendertype for 1:n relations has no effect

When setting relations for a model object to 1:n, the renderType dropdown has no effect, as the template used to generate the relevant TCA code has renderType "inline" hardcoded. The template used is CodeTemplates/Extbase/Partials/TCA/ZeroToManyRelation.phpt

Open existing extension not working

DomainModel UnitTests missing for integer properties

Properties of type integer has empty test functions (getPropertyReturnsInitialValueForInt() + setPropertyForIntSetsProperty()) cause of changed syntax (integer > int) which needs to be adapted in FLUID templates (Resources/Private/CodeTemplates/Extbase/Tests/DomainModelTest.phpt).

BuilderModuleController maybe not loaded or no autoloader

Can't login to typo3.org - so I hope you see the issue here on GitHub.

I get the following error under TYPO3 7.6.1 with PHP-7.0-FPM and Debian 8 (Jessie), when I open the backend module:

#1289386765: Could not analyse class: "EBT\ExtensionBuilder\Controller\BuilderModuleController" maybe not loaded or no autoloader?

Core: Exception handler (WEB): Uncaught TYPO3 Exception: #1289386765: Could not analyse class: "EBT\ExtensionBuilder\Controller\BuilderModuleController" maybe not loaded or no autoloader? | TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Object\Container\Exception\UnknownObjectException thrown in file /var/www/bin/typo3_src-7.6.1/typo3/sysext/extbase/Classes/Object/Container/ClassInfoFactory.php in line 37.

I tried all suggested solutions, that you can find here: https://wiki.typo3.org/Exception/CMS/1289386765 and also a fresh TYPO3 instalaltion. Extension builder still doesn't work.

edit:
I changed my TYPO3 version back to 7.6.0 and now it works.

Icon-Paths are wrong ...

... if TYPO3 is running in a sub-directory.
Paths are always prepended with "/" and the links show then to a wrong location.
Tested in branch 7.6, don't know yet about upper branches.

Please release new version

Multiple people have reported issues with saving on non-standard port numbers, e.g. https://forge.typo3.org/issues/70897

This issue has been fixed, but not released. Please release a new version including this fix.

Separate unit and functional tests

Most of the unit tests are not real unit tests in the sense that the instantiate multiple classes etc. So they should be moved to the Functional tests. The real unit tests should extend \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Tests\FunctionalTestCase...

incorrect escaping of quotes

If using 'Extend existing model class' - e.g. with \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FrontendUser, the generated code in TCA/Overrides/fe_users.php looks like:

if (isset($GLOBALS['TCA']['fe_users']['types']['0']['showitem'])) {

All quotes are HTML-encoded. Temporary solution for developers: Search&Replace this:
'
with this:
'

Primary key for join table

When using Percona XtraDB Cluster in strict mode = ENFORCING or MASTER (as highly recommanded) it's not permit to have a table without a primary key. Then I'm proposing to add a primary key for join table created by extension_builder.

Add support for multiple template root paths

To change just one code template it should be possible to configure additional template root paths in TS.
