Load a resource outside of MODx ?

I followed this documentation. But the current resource seems not loaded after this.
How could I simply load a resource from the DB as the current resource ($modx->resource).

After running the code in that example, you need to get the resource with $ modx-> getObject().

When I try the following code:
I don’t initialize $modx->resource. So I get "Call to a member function get() on a non-object" error message.
Which is normal as $getObject doesn’t affect $modx.

How could I initialize $modx->resource ?

When you are outside of MODx, you initialize MODx but there *is* no current resource (and no reason to set $modx->resource that I can think of offhand).

Can you explain what you’re trying to do? Are you trying to create a resource, display an existing resource’s content, or what?

And why do you need to do it outside of MODx?

I test a snippet under phpStorm. First, I have tried to test a document (as url) with the snippet call iincluded on the page (and then an active resource) but for some reasons (wrong configuration, may be), It don’t work.
So I have set up a test script which run outside of MODx. This script initialize MODx environment and run the snippet.

The snippet output some resources (as rendered/ parsed output), but unfortunately Wayfinder (but probably some other addons) initialize by default the current resource as $modx->resource->get(’id’). So I get an error "Call to a member function get() on a non-object" error message.

I have tried (code part after $modx->initialize(’web’); )

But without success

If you are using the MODX request object, you should probably just go ahead and use the MODX handleRequest() method, just like the index.php does. If you want to do your own routing or integrate some simple MODX output into another system, avoid the modRequest class altogether. You’ll have to make sure any content you load externally like this will work as expected without the normal MODX request/response cycle.

It sounds like you are trying to use PhpStorm for debugging a snippet. One way to do that is to:

* Create a PhpStorm project that contains your whole MODx install,

* Put the snippet code in an external file and use this for the snippet code in MODx:

* In PhpStorm, put a breakpoint in the snippet file.

* In PhpStorm, run debug by launching the index.php file in the MODx root directory.

Doing it this way is a little slow, but you won’t have to modify the snippet code at all to make it work.
