Code Generation with Bake

    • You have the PHP CLI installed and that it has the proper modules enabled (eg: MySQL, intl).
    • Users also might have issues if the database host is ‘localhost’ and should try ‘127.0.0.1’ instead, as localhost can cause issues with PHP CLI.
    • Depending on how your computer is configured, you may have to set execute rights on the cake bash script to call it using .
      Before running bake you should make sure you have at least one databaseconnection configured. See the section on database configuration for more information.

    When run with no arguments will output a list of availabletasks.

    You should see something like:

    1. $ bin/cake bake --help
    2.

    9. The Bake script generates controllers, models and template files for
    10. your application. If run with no command line arguments, Bake guides the
    11. user through the class creation process. You can customize the
    12. generation process by telling Bake where different parts of your
    13. application are using command line arguments.
