I'm having trouble getting the cake console on winows (XAMPP) to see the demo shell
C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter\app\vendors\shells>dir
2011/03/31 21:11 <DIR> .
2011/03/31 21:11 <DIR> ..
2011/03/31 21:16 761 demo.php
2011/03/31 21:01 <DIR> tasks
2011/03/31 21:01 <DIR> templates
I have the demo.php shell in the shell directory.
C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter\app\vendors\shells>cake demo
Error: Class DemoShell could not be loaded.
But the cake console couldn't find it.
C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter\app\vendors\shells>cake
Welcome to CakePHP v1.3.7 Console
---------------------------------------------------------------
Current Paths:
-app: shells
-working: C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter\app\vendors\shells
-root: C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter\app\vendors
-core: C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter
Changing Paths:
your working path should be the same as your application path
to change your path use the '-app' param.
Example: -app relative/path/to/myapp or -app /absolute/path/to/myapp
Available Shells:
acl [CORE] i18n [CORE]
api [CORE] schema [CORE]
bake [CORE] testsuite [CORE]
console [CORE]
To run a command, type 'cake shell_name [args]'
To get help on a specific command, type 'cake shell_name help'
C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter\app\vendors\shells>
And it isn't recognised by the console itself. (note the core is reading from the correct directory).
It's probably some silly oversight but any idea what I am doing wrong here?
Read the error, it does not say 'file not found' it says 'class not found' so it would seem you have named the class incorrectly inside your demo.php shell
Error: Class DemoShell could not be loaded. that is a hint as to what it should be
You should call cake [shell name] from within the app folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\twitter\app\>cake demo.
Please let me know if it works.
