Resolver questions

Does the file resolver $source in $vehicle->resolve(’file’, $source, $target) have to be a directory, or can it be an individual file?

Also, I’m confused by this code in transport.core.php:

$fileset = array (
    'source' => MODX_BASE_PATH . 'connectors/index.php',
    'target' => "return MODX_CONNECTORS_PATH;",
);
$attributes['resolve'][] = array (
    'type' => 'php',
    'source' => dirname(__FILE__) . '/resolvers/resolve.core.php',
    'target' => "return MODX_CONNECTORS_PATH . 'config.core.php';",
);
$package->put($fileset, $attributes);

I thought that the ’target’ was unnecessary (and ignored) in a php resolver.

And I thought an xPDOFileVehicle was required to move files without a traditional vehicle containing an object. Why is this method used in this case and xPDOFileVehicle used in others?

I’m lost here; where is this function you are referring to. It’s not in xPDOVehicle...?

 $vehicle->resolve($object['resolver_type'],array(
            'type' => $object['resolver_type'],
            'source' => $object['resolver_source'],
            'target' => $object['resolver_target'],
        ));

I still can’t find the method you are referring to. xPDOVehicle->resolve() takes three parameters, & $transport, & $object, and $options = array(), and is called by the install() process anyway. You should never need to call it.

  /**
    * Adds a post-save resolver to the vehicle.
    *
    * @access public
    * @param string $type The type of resolver (php,file,etc)
    * @param array $options An array of options for the resolver.
    * @return array The added resolver.
    */
    function resolve($type, $options) {
        $options['type'] = $type;
        array_push($this->resolvers, $options);
        return $options;
    }

Hmm, I guess Shaun wrote that; looks the same as if you pass them as attributes in the first example you pasted in this thread: an absolute path to a resolver script for php types and an absolute path to a directory or file for file types.

$fv = new xPDOFileVehicle($type, $source, $target);
$package->put($fv);
