You should look at this other repo https://github.com/mazenovi/PropelUtility

You are at the right place \o/

• PropelUtility can create and export to xml format a Propel schema from an existant MySQLWorkbench shcema (*.mwb file)
• PropelUtility can manage all Propel's schema elements unsupported by MySQLWorkbench
• PropelUtility is delivered as Python MySQLWorkbench plugin. in this it can be installed on Windows, Linux and Mac OS Platform

• PropelUtility can't manage any schema's data which is manageable with MySQLWorkbench
• PropelUtility can't convert Propel schema to YAML format (use symfony propel:schema-to-yml instead)

MySQLWorkbench python modules should be in one file. There's some tips to install a python module with some dependances with linux, or windows, but none for mac os x. So PropelUtility is python module which fits in just one file, and PropelUtilityDev is python module splitted in several files, which is more understandable (but unsuable on mac os system).

via the command line

git clone git://github.com/mazenovi/PropelUtilityDev.git

or unzip the downloaded archive downloaded " from PropelUtilityDev's github page

Copy the full project (i.e. propel_utility_*.py and PropelUtility folder) in a MySQLWorkbench's "modules" folder.

It can be in MySQLWorkbench's installation folder, with a path like this:

• C:\Program Files\mysql-workbench\modules
• ou /usr/lib/mysql-workbench/modules for linux

or better a user folder, with a path like this:

• C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\Workbench\modules
• /home/username/.mysql/workbench/modules for linux

After you copied those files

• open MySQLWorkbench
• go to "Scripting" -> "Install Plugin / Module ..." browse to the file propel_utility_dev_grt.py you just copied, select it
• restart MySQLWorkbench

PropelUtilityDev add two new entries to MySQLWorkbench in "Plugins" -> "Catalog" :

• "Propel Utility (Dev)"
• "Propel Erase All Data (Dev)"

N.B. It's not exactly the way to install a plugin. As PropelUtility is split in several files, you have to copy all project's files in the "modules" folder by hand, before installation in MySQLWrokbench.

PropelUtilityDev is delivered with a rudimentary build script. After the first build you should see two new entries to MySQLWorkbench in "Plugins" -> "Catalog" :

• "Propel Utility"
• "Propel Erase All Data"

If not try

• open MySQLWorkbench
• go to "Scripting" -> "Install Plugin / Module ..." browse to the generated file propel_utility_grt.py, select it
• restart MySQLWorkbench.

Now can change PropelUtiltyDev's code and test with the "Propel Utility (Dev)" entry.

MySQLWorkbench has to be restart to test every changes in the code :/

You can see an output of errors with CTRL + F2

when you're done you can rebuild propel_utility_grt.py with

python propel_utility_build.py

Now you can test changes for the propel_utility_grt.py one file version with the "Propel Utility" entry

When all it's ok for you, PR changes on PropelUtiltyDev repo and PR the new propel_utility_build.py on PropelUtilty repo

Any changes on the Propel data with Propel Utility will be validated after a click on the "OK" Button.

If "CANCEL" is clicked, changes will be lost.

To definitely save the Propel data, you should remember to save the .mwb file

There are 3 type fields:

• the non-editable fields : they are for information only, MySQLworkbench can edit them but not PropelUtility
• the editable fields : on click on those fields make them editable and you can change their value with a keyboard input
• the editable fields with choices list : on click on those fields make them editable and you can change their value with a keyboard input, and a double click will show a list with all possible choices. Just select an item and click the "select this value" button N.B. it seems that the choices are unavailable on linux.

• Database can manage attributes for <database /> xml tag
• Tables can manage attributes for <table /> xml tag
• Columns can manage attributes for <column /> xml tag
• Foreign Keys can manage attributes for <foreign-key /> xml tag
• Indices show only attributes for <index /> et <unique/> xml tags
• Behaviors can manage Behaviors for each table (<behavior /> xml tag) and all associated parameters (<parameter /> xml tag)
• Eternal Schemas can manage attributes for <external-schema /> xml tag
• Export can export data managed with previous tab with this rule: required attributes are always exported, and optional attributes will be exported only if associated value is different from defaut value.

in Behaviors tab you can browse to a Python file called PropelExtraBehavior.py to add extra behaviors : User-Contributed Behaviors or your own.

Your PropelExtraBehavior.py file should look as

from PropelObject import *

__all__ = ["PropelExtraBehavior"]

VERSION = "1.0.0"

class PropelExtraBehavior(PropelObject):

  behaviors =  {
    'awesomable':(),
    'true_inheritance':('extends',)
  }

where dict's keys are behavior's name and dict's items are behavior's parameters

This entry can erase all Propel data managed by PropelUtility and only this data (MySQLWorkbench data will not be affected)

• add an individual export box for each indice ( or )
• add "single inheritance" support
• add a "Settings" tab to choose which column are showing or not in each tab
