Error "Call to a member function prepare() on null" when creating new Filemaker model #4
Description
When I try to create a new Filemaker model, I expect to create a new entry in Filemaker, but I receive an error saying "Call to a member function prepare() on null". It looks like the $pdo attribute in Illuminate\Database\Connection is not set.
The model (the bad attribute naming is made by client...)
<?php
//app/Models/Filemaker/Phonelog.php
namespace App\Models\Filemaker;
use FMLaravel\Database\Model;
class Phonelog extends Model
{
protected $connection = 'filemaker';
protected $layoutName = 'Basic';
protected $primaryKey = 'Log Id';
protected $fillable = [
"Date",
"Incoming|Outgoing",
"Production ID",
"Prod_Show_Combo",
"From",
"To",
"Summary",
"Result",
"Topic",
"Type",
];
}
The test
<?php
//tests/Learning/FilemakerDbTest.php
namespace Tests\Learning;
use App\Models\Filemaker\Phonelog;
use TestCase;
class FilemakerDbTest extends TestCase
{
//DATABASE : fmsvr.rms.biz ?
public function setUp()
{
parent::setUp();
$this->model = new Phonelog;
}
public function testAll()
{
$logs = $this->model->all();
$this->assertNotTrue($logs->isEmpty());
}
public function testEdit()
{
$form = [
"Date" => "12/12/2012",
"Incoming|Outgoing" => "Outgoing",
"Production ID" => "p999",
"Prod_Show_Combo" => "combo",
"From" => "Joe Crisse",
"To" => "Joe Crisse",
"Summary" => "Sommaire",
"Result" => "Result!",
"Topic" => "Conclusion",
"Type" => "type",
];
$log = $this->model->create($form);
$this->assertInstanceOf(Phonelog::class, $log);
}
}
The PHPUnit log output. Please note that the first test works, so the connection to Filemaker server works too.
