I’ve just found out, that I was using a beta version so that should be the problem, some missing functionality or something.

Thanks for the plugin! you rock!!

Hi dhaas, I was using 5.1.9 version on Windows XP SP3
Here is the output of GRT shell:

@Karsten,Claudio:
For me it works with Workbench 5.1.12 on Windows. I just installed it in a seperate Folder and the plugin automatically showed up in the menu.
Could you please tell me which version on which operating system you use? If its anything other than Windows, then I expect the cause to be bugs/missing bits in the Operating-System’s version.
Could you please activate the GRT shell after startup and show post the output? Thanks!

Hi! Great news, i’ve recently tried your plugin on the 5.2.1Alpha version of Workbench and works great. I don’t know why didn’t work on the 5.1.x versions, but i’m happy that works on the new version.

Congratulations for this usefull plugin!

I’m having the same problem that Karsten have. The plugin was correctly installed and the workbench asked to restart the program, but nothing, the plugin menu doesn’t show any options. I hope that you can solve this problem.
thanks in advance and congratulations for the idea!

Have you ever tried to run the plugin in MySQL Workbench 5.1.x? It’s not working!

Great plugin. Does 80% of the work.

It can’t handle User Types in tables though (can be defined on right-hand side in WB), and it doesnt print out the enum-values. Both are especially handy for serious projects.

Any idea how to extend your plugin to print these ? I have tried, but the learning curve for workbench-lua is a bit steep. There seems to be a field
db_UserDataType though.

Thanks for the effort !

@Michal Till:
Sorry, but I don’t understand your problem here. It is normal that you cannot name a foreign-key like a column. This is not propel limitation, but a MySQL limitation.

@johnny
The plugin should also work under Linux, but I have not tested it yet. I think you placed the plugin in the wrong folder. Unfortunatly I do not know what the right location is for linux. It may also be that plugins are not yet supported in the linux-version. You should look for help in the MySQL Workbench forums under: http://forums.mysql.com/index.php?151

Does your plugin work for the Linux version of MySQL Workbench?
I followed your instructions and I don’t see anything in the Plugins menu.

I’ve got a serious problem here.

When I have a foreign key, in Workbench it is both a “column” and a “foreign key”, so in Propel’s XML it is twice. Therefore a validating routine fails with a message that one of the foreign key’s name collide with a column name. I’m using this with Propel 1.3.

Really great plugin, thanks for your work. That’s exactly what i was looking for ! It will save me a lot of time, building my symfony schema.

Perhaps you can tell it to the symfony team. They could add a tip into the documentation of the framework – if it’s not already done..

Thanks!

I finally came around to update the export-plugin: MySQL Workbench Propel export plugin v0.4 @Michael T: This seems to be a problem with your model and an incomplete foreign-key declaration. Please recheck them and see if all referenced tables are set and not empty. If you own the SE Version you may also run the different validation scripts to check if you model is well-defined.

Whenever I try and use this plugin I get.

12:49:33 | Error executing plugin: Error calling lua function PropelExport.exportPropelSchemaToClipboard: ‘.\modules\PropelExport.grt.lua:434: List index out of bounds’

Does your update fix this? Am I also able to get this emailed to me?

Sorry guys, I was on holidays and forgot to mention that on the blog, so it took so long to approve the comments.
I have not updated the plugin yet, but will do so today and release an updated version containing the fixes of Hvannentir and maybe some more.

Hi, on the last post you said you had fixed some of the problems Hvannentir pointed out, and I’m unsure if you updated the script, so in case you didn’t update, I wonder if you could send me the updated script to my email. Thanks in advance, cheers!

Hi Hvannentir,
Could you send me corrected version of this plugin?
