New custom CRUD-Module, trying to edit: Trying to get property of non-object

Jacob · November 9, 2020, 7:15pm

When trying to edit a record which I created in a just made with command php artisan ninja:make-module, I get an error ‘Trying to get property of non-object’. I can create and delete the records.

2020-11-09 18:52:41] production.ERROR: ErrorException [0] : /var/www/html/ninja/Modules/Kunstenaars/Http/Controllers/KunstenaarsController.php [Line 90] => Trying to get property of non-object {“context”:“PHP”,“user_id”:3,“account_id”:“3”,“user_name”:"…",“method”:“GET”,“user_agent”:“Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:82.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/82.0”,“locale”:“nl”,“ip”:…",“count”:10,“is_console”:“no”,“is_api”:“no”,“db_server”:“mysql”,“url”:“kunstenaars/2/edit”}

Line 90 in KunstenaarsController.php is referring to $request->entity(). When I do a dump on that, I get a NULL. In the database there is a record with 2 as id. What is going wrong?

I am on a Self-host version, with PHP70 on CentOS 7.
Thanks.

Hi,

We provide support for people using app but it’s hard for us to provide developer support.

Here’s the relevant code if you want to try to debug it:

github.com

invoiceninja/invoiceninja/blob/master/app/Http/Requests/EntityRequest.php#L15


use App\Libraries\HistoryUtils;
use App\Models\EntityModel;
use Input;
use Utils;

class EntityRequest extends Request
{
    protected $entityType;
    private $entity;

    public function entity()
    {
        if ($this->entity) {
            return $this->entity;
        }

        $class = EntityModel::getClassName($this->entityType);

        // The entity id can appear as invoices, invoice_id, public_id or id
        $publicId = false;
        $field = $this->entityType . '_id';
