i believe the name has nothing to do with this test case, can someone confirm @Amir-61 @bajtos

and under strict mode it will return validationError, or perhaps we can define it on top https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-datasource-juggler/blob/60d059928d2ef919135efa7bf5425e10a5c83be0/test/datatype.test.js#L192-L200

This test checks what happens when you have persistUndefinedAsNull configured and create a model instance that does not have values for all properties.

Your conclusion seems reasonable to me. I guess my only concern is whether it's ok to pass an empty object to create. Perhaps we should add the name property to the model definition instead?

agreed, having empty object might cause confusion.

Perhaps we should add the name property to the model definition instead?

      if (isStrict) {
        // SQL-based connectors don't support dynamic properties
        delete EXPECTED.extra;
+        delete data.extra;


Why is it necessary to delete data.extra?

mysql fails with the following otherwise, seems it does not discard undefined properties which leads to

1) mysql imported features datatypes model option persistUndefinedAsNull should convert property value undefined to null: ValidationError: The `TestModel` instance is not valid.

I'm not sure what to do with this test case, so the option of { persistUndefinedAsNull: true } disables the discarding of undefined property, while strict mode will return validation error.

in this case deleting data.extra is needed ( and i think is correct behavior? )
while the test will still check for the defined property (desc) which fulfills the original intent of the test

I'm surprised the problem was not discovered earlier. Is it really related to the changes made in this pull request? If it isn't, then could you perhaps isolate it in a standalone commit (if not send it as a new PR)?

it is related to this change, because sql database uses strict:true which silently remove before, but now returns err

Ah, of course! Makes a lot of sense.

bajtos · 2016-09-09T13:01:07Z

I did a quick partial review, didn't reviewed the added/removed test cases.

davidcheung · 2016-09-14T21:02:04Z

@bajtos PTAL

bajtos

I left few minor comments for the changes in tests, the implementation looks mostly good to me.

Please clean up the history while addressing the comments, I think the patch will be ok to land after the next iteration.

This comment does not make sense to me when it's before it should allow unknown attributes when strict: false

ure right, going to remove it
going to leave the test below with (which i think is alittle easier to understand)

LGTM.

I pointed out few details that can be improved, feel free to ignore them.
