Using SuperTable in Fixtures for Unit Testing? (within matrix)

[mandrasch]

Hey,

I'm using fixtures for unit testing / Codeception. It works well with normal matrix fields, but now I added a Super Table field to a matrix block

I have ...

• a Single
• a Matrix field
• a Super Table within that Matrix field

Is it possible to fill this field via fixtures - or is this not supported?

I tried with

'myMatrixField' => [
     'new1' => [
                    'type' => 'myBlock',
                    'fields' => [
                        'componentIds' => [
                            [
                                'componentId' => 'page-area-main-catalogs',
                            ]
                        ],
                        // beware: super table involved here ;) https://verbb.io/craft-plugins/super-table/docs/v2/template-guides/php-example
                        'images' => [
                            [
                                'image' => $image,
                                'linkUrl' => 'https://example.com/katalog-2023',
                            ]
                        ],
                    ],
                ]
            ],

I currently get [craft\errors\InvalidElementException] Images not allowed to be empty... error

I also saw https://verbb.io/craft-plugins/super-table/docs/v2/template-guides/php-example - I could set the block id $blockType->id,, but I wasn't sure how to get it within the matrix field.

Thanks very much for any hints!
Best regards, Matthias

Update: I don't need to rely on Fixtures - I could also save it programmatically in my test.

I saw https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/31055/saving-a-supertable-field-within-a-matrix-field, but I'm not sure how to adopt it to my use case.

What seems to be missing for me is how to get the correct field id for

$matrixField = Craft::$app->getFields()->getFieldByHandle('myMatrixField');
$matrixBlockTypes = Craft::$app->matrix->getBlockTypesByFieldId($matrixField->id);
// Loop through the block types to find the desired block type --> only one currently 
foreach ($matrixBlockTypes as $matrixBlockType) {
            
            // Returns craft\fieldlayoutelements\CustomField --> no id set?
            $superTableField = $matrixBlockType->getFieldLayout()->getField('images');

            // ERROR: ->id can't be retrieved 🤔
            $blockTypes = SuperTable::$plugin->getService()->getBlockTypesByFieldId($superTableField->id);
            $blockType = $blockTypes[0]; 
            
            $superTableData['new1'] = [
                'type' => $blockType->id,
                'enabled' => true,
                'fields' => [
                    'fieldOne' => 'Some string or data',
                    'fieldTwo' => '12'
                ]
            ];
            
             // save entry with new data ...

Okay, one step further - I needed $superTableField = $matrixBlockType->getFieldLayout()->getFieldByHandle('images');. Seems to work now 🎉
