Question

I have propel query

$articles = ArticlesQuery::create()->find();
var_dump($articles);
exit;

which queries the article table (id, users_id, article_category_id, images_id, title, body, approved, created_date, deleted) but the result I get is very different.

expected result is

object(PropelObjectCollection)[34]

object(Articles)[35]
  protected 'startCopy' => boolean false
  protected 'id' => int 1
  protected 'users_id' => int 1
  protected 'articles_category_id' => int 1
  protected 'images_id' => int 1
  protected 'title' => string 'Article Title Here updated' (length=26)
  protected 'body' => resource(68, stream)
  protected 'approved' => int 0
  protected 'created_date' => null
  protected 'deleted' => null
  protected 'aUsers' => null
  protected 'aArticlesCategory' => null
  protected 'alreadyInSave' => boolean false
  protected 'alreadyInValidation' => boolean false
  protected 'validationFailures' => 
    array
      empty
  protected '_new' => boolean false
  protected '_deleted' => boolean false
  protected 'modifiedColumns' => 
    array
      empty
  protected 'virtualColumns' => 
    array
      empty

but the result I get is

object(PropelObjectCollection)[49]

object(Articles)[50]
  protected 'startCopy' => boolean false
  protected 'id' => int 1
  protected 'users_id' => int 1
  protected 'articles_category_id' => int 0
  protected 'images_id' => int 0
  protected 'title' => string '[e-mail]' (length=22)
  protected 'body' => resource(71, stream)
  protected 'approved' => int 0
  protected 'created_date' => null
  protected 'deleted' => null
  protected 'aUsers' => null
  protected 'aArticlesCategory' => null
  protected 'alreadyInSave' => boolean false
  protected 'alreadyInValidation' => boolean false
  protected 'validationFailures' => 
    array
      empty
  protected '_new' => boolean false
  protected '_deleted' => boolean false
  protected 'modifiedColumns' => 
    array
      empty
  protected 'virtualColumns' => 
    array
      empty

The same query worked earlier. I have just started to work with Propel ORM. I don’t know what is going wrong. I have already tried regenerating the runtime configuration for php and then generated new model classes. I have integrated Propel with CI. I am still trying to solve this problem and I have no idea what is causing the different output.

Answer 1

Today, I made a really stupid mistake and cost me hours of pain.

Actually in the morning I edited a propel runtime core file “runtime/lib/query/ModelCriteria.php” and replaced the

$this->modelPeerName = constant($this->modelName . '::PEER'); 
// with 
$this->modelPeerName = 'UsersPeer'

which caused propel to return the data from users table only. @j0k Thanks for the continuous support that kept me with debugging this problem.

I replaced the code earlier because the code generated by propel was not working for the UsersQuery only and was not able to locate constant($this->modelName . ‘::PEER’); properly.

Hope this won’t happen to anyone and I will have habbit of keeping track of changes I made. After finding the actual error, I reverted to the original source and the query began to work as before.
