Re: V3.0 - saving fails...

Entities go in App/Model/Entity/ and they should be the singular of your table without suffixes. For example App/Model/Entity/Article.php that way cakephp will be able to load it and know it is associated to ArticlesTable.

If you wish to divert from the conventions you can change it in your table class:

class ArticlesTable extends Table {

  public function initialize(array $config) {

     $this->entityClass('App\Model\ArticleEntity');

  }

}

In general I would not recommend this as it makes it harder for the FormHelper to figure out where stuff is.

ok that brings me to the next question. 

How do I get $article = $this->Articles->newEntity($this->request->data); to use the Entity class I have created in  App/Model/ArticleEntity.php ? Doesn't the controller automagically include it, What is the convention for Entity classes?

This could possibly be the most difficult part to understand in 3.0 and may be subject to change if it turns out to be too complicated. All properties in the entities are protected by default against mass assignment, you need to modify your Article entity in order to let CakePHP know what properties can be assigned by newEntity:

class Article extends Entity {

  protected $_accessible = ['title' => true, 'body' => true];

}

or if you just don't care (not recommended):

class Article extends Entity {

  protected $_accessible = ['*' => true];

}

The latter can be seen as a Eloquent::unguard();

Wonder why saving is failing 

I am doing 

$article = $this->Articles->newEntity($this->request->data);

if ($this->Articles->save($article)) {

                $this->Session->setFlash(__('Your article has been saved.'));

                return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);

}

$this->Session->setFlash(__('Unable to add your article.'));

debug($this->request->data);

gives

[

'title' => 'Test Title',

'body' => 'This is the body'

]

but debug($article);

give

object(Cake\ORM\Entity) {

'new' => null,

'accessible' => [],

'properties' => [],

'dirty' => [],

'virtual' => [],

'errors' => []

}

What can possibly be wrong. I am guessing the title and body should appear as properties of the newly created entity without which the saving will not happen

I did a composer update just now - so I do have the latest code.

Cheers
