Hi, I just encountered a strange one. Well, I got the error earlier this week but have only now taken the time to break it down.
I have a shell that just calls requestAction to run an action. When I run the action in the browser, all is well. When I run it via the shell I get strange results. Turns out that $this->ModelName is an instance of AppModel, not of ModelName, when called from the shell. My errors were the cause of both custom find variations missing and before and after find callbacks not firing. I created a syntax error in my model file and the shell returned the same as always but the browser halted and pointed out the syntax error, as expected. So the Model file is not even included when the shell runs. I have a similar call to another action with another model but basically the same setup. That one works fine but I cant see any difference that should be at all related. Doing App::import and creating a new instance on my model at the top of my action makes the logic work. It is just such a bizarre error that I had to ask if anyone has seen anything similar or have any clue what the cause is? I have ruled out the following... Can't be file permissions (since the class loads fine with App::import) Can't be a general CakePHP bug since my other similar setup loads as expected. Can't be a normal bug of mine since it all works in the browser. This is like a common problem with Actionscript/Flash. Flash reports an object ready before it really is and calling it will trigger methods on parent-classes in a semi-random way. I never had anything like that happen in PHP. that's all I have for now Martin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
