Erros generating crud with gii

[atrandafir]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

• Install yii2
• Connect to a MongoDB database
• Create a mongodb model
• Open GII web interface and choose CRUD

What's expected?

• I should get the generated crud code without any errors

What do you get instead?

• I get the error: Call to undefined method common\models\mongo\Lab::getTableSchema()

Additional info

This is the code causing the error and it is part of https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-gii package actually, but I'm not sure if the error comes from Gii or this extension needs some tweaking so it doesn't show up.

/**
 * Returns table schema for current model class or false if it is not an active record
 * @return \yii\db\TableSchema|false
 */
public function getTableSchema()
{
	$class = $this->modelClass;
	if (is_subclass_of($class, '\yii\db\BaseActiveRecord')) {
		return $class::getTableSchema();
	}

	return false;
}

What I did see is that in the past it worked, but Gii was updated and it stopped working. Previously the code was:

if (is_subclass_of($class, '\yii\db\ActiveRecord')) {

So as a workaround if you swap one line with the other it works. But again this is Gii code.

Also second lighter error

• If you manage to finally generate the code, this error shows when running the create action: Calling unknown method: common\models\mongo\Lab::loadDefaultValues()

It seems to me like your model is not extending the right subclass.

Can you show us the model code ?

Sure @machour this is the model's code:

<?php

namespace common\models\mongo;

use Yii;

/**
 * @property \MongoDB\BSON\ObjectID|string $_id
 * @property string $ent_name
 * @property string $ent_fsid
 * @property string $lab_code
 * @property string $ent_summary
 * @property string $ent_url
 * @property string $palette
 * @property string $picture_url
 */
class Lab extends \yii\mongodb\ActiveRecord {

  public static function collectionName() {
    return 'fst-labs';
  }

  public function attributes() {
    return [
        '_id',
        
        'ent_name',
        'ent_fsid',
        'lab_code',
        'ent_summary',
        'ent_url',
        'palette',
        
        'picture_url',
    ];
  }
  
  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public function rules() {
    return [
        ['ent_name', 'safe'],
        ['ent_fsid', 'safe'],
        ['lab_code', 'safe'],
        ['ent_summary', 'safe'],
        ['ent_url', 'safe'],
//        ['palette', 'safe'],
        ['picture_url', 'safe'],
    ];
  }

  public function attributeLabels() {
    return [
    ];
  }

}

The model was created manually copying code from a previous project but if I try to generate with Gii I get a similar result:

<?php

namespace common\models;

use Yii;

/**
 * This is the model class for collection "fst-labs".
 *
 * @property \MongoDB\BSON\ObjectID|string $_id
 */
class FstLabs extends \yii\mongodb\ActiveRecord
{
    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public static function collectionName()
    {
        return 'fst-labs';
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function attributes()
    {
        return [
            '_id',
        ];
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            
        ];
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function attributeLabels()
    {
        return [
            '_id' => 'ID',
        ];
    }
}

Oh, it seems that mongodb requires an extra configuration to be used with Gii, could you check if you have this in place in your configuration?

Yes I do and if I'm not wrong that has nothing to do with CRUD generation but Model generation.
