InvalidArgumentException: The "template" option does not exist.

[pascalruscher]

Hi guys,

I have a problem with the new cakephp 3 migrations plugin.

I am getting this error:
[InvalidArgumentException]
The "template" option does not exist.

After executing this in the project root dir on command line:
bin/cake migrations create Initial

[AD7six]

That's a problem of version mis-match - what version of bake, cakephp and migrations are you using?

The template option was renamed theme a long time ago, nothing should be trying to use template.

I have this problem too. i also clone the newest plugin right now. I'm using cake php RC-2

[pascalruscher]

I am using Cake 3.0 RC-1 and latest migrations files

Hello. The same problem here. I have the latest cakephp and migrations plugin
cakephp/cakephp (3.0.x-dev 2da74bd)
cakephp/migrations (dev-master 0acd5ac)

[AD7six]

Can either of you please say what version of bake you are using?

[AD7six]

nvm I misread the command in the ticket - it's reproducible.

Note however that bin/cake bake migration Initial is how you'd normally generate your first populated migration file.

thanks. bin/cake bake migration works. can you please explain, if the bake or migrations console should be used to create migrations?

[AD7six]

They do different things, so at the moment, you'd use bake for the first one, and then bin/cake migrations create thereafter - probably. Depends on your workflow though.

Hello, the problem seems to be following:

configure() in /Command/Create.php is not calling parent::configure() so changes in underlying phinx library are not taken into account, namely addition of "template" option which is the problem in this case.

IMO parent::configure() should be called and conflicting addOption() calls removed since corresponding options are set by phinx. This seems to fix immediate problem.

Please advise if I should create PR for this.

[CauanCabral]

Migrations plugin will follow the CakePHP standard (theme) or Phinx's (template) for that option? Maybe both?

The Phinx related change are here (I think): cakephp/phinx@40adf07

But only today I found that issue.
