Author Topic: generate:api parameters.yml (Read 1231 times)

I've copied the parameters.yml dist to parameters.yml and set the path to civicrm.settings.php

After generating a module and cding to that directory, I try civix generate:api xxxxxxxxxx yyy and get

"Cannot instantiate API client -- please set connection options in parameters.yml "

I've tried quoting the path, but same result. I'm running on Turnkey LAMP on my local network. Drupal-7.20 and civicrm 4.2.8 run fine.

Any suggestions?

A few thoughts:
* Make sure the path points to the directory (e.g. /var/www/sites/default) and not the file (e.g. /var/www/sites/default/civicrm.settings.php)
* You can use the command "civix civicrm:ping" to test the connection. I don't think this will reveal any more information than you already get from "generate:api", but it's a little quicker to type and doesn't generate any files.
* Creating/editing parameters.yml *should* work, but I don't recommend it anymore. At some point, I'd like to refactor and repackage as a single "civix" binary -- and parameters.yml won't work then. In anticipation of that, the suggested config is now to use "civix config:set" (which will write to ~/.civix/civix.ini). There's some more notes at https://github.com/totten/civix/ under "Post-install Configuration, all operating systems". If you do it this way, then I'd suggest removing the localized parameters.yml.
