Question

I have added the onError method to AppModel as follows:

class AppModel extends Model {
    function onError() {
        $db = $this->getDataSource();
        $err = $db->lastError();
        $this->log("AppModel.onError: $err");
    }
}

Inside my matches controller I have:

function admin_create() {
    $this->Match->query('SELECT bang FROM');
}

When I visit /admin/controllers/create it get the following error in the log file but nothing from the code in the onError method.

line 684]

Also, when I set a breakpoint in admin_create it is reached but the breakpoints in onError cannot be reached. Any idea as ideas?

Answer 1

I don’t believe the onError callback is executed when using the Model’s query() method – only an exception is thrown if there is a SQL error.

EDIT:

Sorry, I should have provided an example of how you could handle the error:

  try {
    $this->Match->query('SELECT bang FROM');
  } catch (Exception $e) {
  /**
   * Catch the exception - do your error handling here
   */
  }
