Using the Bake code generator

[CKShia]

Hi Mike, I am Alex from ICT333 T1A 2012.

Regarding the Bake code generator that I've seen from here -> http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/tutorials/os-php-cake2/section4.html

In this statement,

To use Bake, cd into the /webroot/app directory and launch the Cake Console: ../cake/console/cake bake. You should be presented with a screen that looks like Figure 2.

Sample image

I can't found any directory path /webroot/app inside the Team Maker folder; thus, I assume it is under the directory www/cake/console.

I would like to know whether I've entered into correct dir path? as I can't see any other dir path contains this name (webroot/app). And, how to call this bake shell out in the command prompt and use it?
Perhaps to provides me a step-by-step guidance if possible?

Thanks.

Assuming you are using windows, WAMP server and your www directory of teammaker is C:\wamp\www\teammaker\

• First, you will need cd into that directory using cmd
• then execute php cake\console\cake bake
  • in order to do this you need php to be in your system path, i'm sure if you google around how you could get that working with wamp.

Not sure why I keep getting the same error message CLI has stopped working when I type cake bake to launch the shell in the directory cake\console.

Sample screen

Of course, when I type the php -v it contains no error; thus, I suspects the problem is the cakephp itself.

Was googling around to find the solution however can't get any help from the forums.
Have tried to re-install the whole program and set the environment path in Windows, still the same.

May I know how did you manage to get it works as in your cake console setup?
Thanks.

Hmmm.... that's strange. I don't have that problem because I had been developing it on Ubuntu. Although I want you to use Ubuntu for development, I wouldn't suggest you to right now, cos it'll probably take quite some time.

I have came across a site that allow you to bake online, but for the life of me, I can't find it again anymore.

You might wanna go to StackOverflow, CakePHP Q&A, and, as last resort, #cakephp irc channel.
