    Hi,

    it may seem strange, but I can't get akelos to set an integer attribute in my tables to the value 0.

    I have a products table and model with a 'products_status' field. However,

    $product->updateAttribute( 'products_status', n);

    works for n != 0 only!

    Any idea why?

    Tom

    hm, updateAttribute() just calls setAttribute($attribute_name,$value) then saves.

    actually, in the end it does a simple $this->$attribute_name = $value;

    so, could you double-check spelling. do you have a explicit setter (like setProductsStatus)?

    ok, I double-checked everything today. It really depends on the value I'm trying to set. Values 1 or 2 work as expected, but 0 doesn't.

    Might it be that there's a check via empty() somewhere which concludes that an integer 0 is empty and does not need to be saved?

    might share your unit test?

    one thing, what's the result of

    ->hasAttribute('my_attribute_name');  // = true?

    or:

    ->getAttributes();

    Ok, heres the test case code:

    function test_Product()
{
    $prod = new Product( array( 'products_status' => 2 ));

    print_r( $prod->getAttributes()  );

    $this->assertTrue( $prod->hasAttribute('products_status'),'Attribute doesnt exist.');

    $this->assertTrue( $prod->save(),'Saving the product failed. :(');

    $prod = $prod->find('first');

    $prod->updateAttribute( 'products_status', 0 );

    $prod = $prod->find('first');

    $this->assertTrue( $prod->products_status == 0,'Setting to 0 failed. products_status is '.$prod->products_status);
}

    The last assertion fails, saying:

    1) Setting to 0 failed. products_status is 2

    print_r output includes

    [products_status] => 2

    works for me. just assumed

    Product: id, products_status int

    and a clean Model-Class

    I've placed a new post about this topic (sorry for that, founded this one later)

    I'm having the same problem Tom has and I've traced the place where the "problem" happens.

    Can you explain your last message (the Product: ... and a clean Model-Class thing), I'm still feel newb with Akelos :)

    Thanks and sorry for the doubled post :$

    Can you explain your last message (the Product: ... and a clean Model-Class thing)

    table products has two columns: id & products_status. Both int's.

    the model is 'clean', without associations, validations etc.

    ok, with

     products_status int not null

    I can reproduce this.
