CakePHP 2 can't find FireCake using Debug_kit - cakephp

I have been attempting to use CakePHP 2.0 and most of it works pretty well, however I have not been able to get console logging working with FireCake. I have FireBug 1.8.3 and FirePHP 0.6.2 installed in Firefox 6.0.2 and my old Cake 1.3 project works fine. For CakePHP 2.0 I downloaded the new version of DebugKit, put it in Plugins, added this to my AppController in Controllers folder:
App::import('Vendor', 'DebugKit.FireCake');
class AppController extends Controller {
public $components = array('Cookie', 'DebugKit.Toolbar', 'RequestHandler', 'Session');
and this in my bootstrap
CakePlugin::load('DebugKit');
and in core
Configure::write('debug', 2);
and then put this in one of my controller actions
FireCake::log($msg);
which generates an error like this
Fatal error: Class 'FireCake' not found in C:\Users\foo\Documents\Websites\cakephp-2.0.0.35\numbering\Controller\AppController.php on line 29
I can't figure out anything I might have missed from the instructions, so is there something duh-obvious I might be overlooking? Or some extra import that is necessary? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

[edit]
I should add that the DebugKit menu appears as expected and functions, the problem is just FireCake.

The documentation was incorrect for CakePHP v 2.0. This is now required:
App::import('Lib', 'DebugKit.FireCake');

I believe you should use
App::uses('FireCake', 'DebugKit.Lib');
if you are on CakePHP 2.2 or higher.

Can't install DebugKit in cakePHP

I set up the DebugKit in cakephp but I'm getting this error:
Error: DebugKit.ToolbarComponent could not be found.
Error: Create the class ToolbarComponent below in file:
C:\xampp\htdocs\eperformance\app\Plugin\DebugKit\Controller\Component\ToolbarComponent.php

Can anyone help me with this?
My ng case:

debugkit ver.2.2 or master
My successful case:
cakephp ver.2.6.1 and
debugkit ver.2.2
Hope it helps you.
Possible walk through:
In bootstrap use this line CakePlugin::load('DebugKit'); OR CakePlugin::loadAll();

CakePHP's DebugKit assets are not loading

Now I know there is a work around already for this were I can just copy the assets to the projects own webroot. And will probably just do that in a bit however . . .
I do want to know why I keep getting this issue. I was poking around in the AssetDispatcher code and placed some CakeLog::write() statements in there and when I call the page the dispatcher is only called once. Shouldn't it be called for each asset that is being requested? Is there another file that handles the dispatching of assets other than this class I can look at?
I have a fresh install of cakephp 2.5.5 and DebugKit 2.2.4
I followed the instructions in how to load the plugin and indeed the php code is seeing the plugin and tries to load it. It is just not being displayed properly because it can't find the css and js within the plugin.
I did some searching and found somethings stating that the order that the plugins are loaded and the order of the dispatchers withing the bootstrap.php file matters here. I am using a fresh install of cakephp here and that order is already present. DebugKit is loaded and then the dispatchers.
Mostly I could use some help in how to debug the dispatchers since this seems to be where the problem is. Never have had to touch these before. The cakebook gives general information on how to write your own, but I am more interested in the lifecycle here.
Or more like I am making this overly complicated and there is an even easier thing to do here to figure this out. Any information is appreciated.
I've included the relevent code on the initial setup of the DebugKit below in case I missed something simple or overlooked something I thought I had done.
app/Config/bootstrap.php
CakePlugin::load( 'DebugKit' );
Configure::write('Dispatcher.filters', array(
'AssetDispatcher',
'CacheDispatcher'
));
app/Controller/AppController.php
$components = array( 'DebugKit.Toolbar' );
app/View/Layout/default.ctp
bottom of file
<p>
<?php echo $cakeVersion; ?>
</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
These are the paths that cake is having trouble resolving
/debug_kit/css/debug_toolbar.css
/debug_kit/js/js_debug_toolbar.js
/debug_kit/image/cake.icon.png
These are the urls that cake is generating itself
I have the same problem before when upgrading to the latest CakePHP. I solve it by adding the following codes in bootstrap.php:
Configure::write('Dispatcher.filters', array(
'AssetDispatcher',
'CacheDispatcher'
));
When upgrading to latest version, you need to also check whether there are changes in index.php and htaccess file.
Here are the steps you follow:
Install CakePHP and check installation.
Download the latest DebugKit 2.2.1, which is compatible with Cake 2.4
Copy the contents to the cake/plugins/DebugKit folder.
Call CakePlugin::load('DebugKit'); in app/Config/bootstrap.php
Include toolbar component by calling public $components = array('DebugKit.Toolbar'); within the class of AppController.php
Set Configure::write('debug', 1); in app/Config/core.php
Remove the 'sql_dump' element from my layout in app/View/Layouts/default.ctp
Copy all contents (folders 'css', 'js', 'img') of app/Plugin/DebugKit/webroot/ in app/webroot/debug_kit/

How to use DebugKit toolbar in cakephp 2.1.3 or cakephp 2.0

I have tried to use cakephp Debugkit toolbar for cakephp 2.1.3... but it is not working fine..
I have implemented debugkit on cakephp 1.3 it is working fine..
i downloaded debugkit for cakephp 2.1.3. I rechecked that..
How i am implementing it??
app/plugin/DebugKit ///this is my path for debugkit
I checked my debug mode is 2..
Configure::write('debug', 2);
how i am loading my debug kit in Appcontroller..'
public $components = array('DebugKit.Toolbar');
It is showing error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /var/www/guest1/cakephp-2.1.3/app/Plugin/debug_kit/Controller/Component/ToolbarComponent.php on line 165
I download debugkit from different source but same result.
Thanks !
it is showing error in this function and line
public function implementedEvents() {
$before = function ($name) {
return function () use ($name) {
DebugTimer::start($name, __d('debug_kit', $name));
};
};
$after = function ($name) {
return function () use ($name) {
DebugTimer::stop($name);
};
};
I loaded file in bootstrap.php at the end
CakePlugin::loadAll();
Error:-
Error: DebugKit.ToolbarComponent could not be found.
Error: Create the class ToolbarComponent below in file: /var/www/guest1/cakephp-2.1.3/app/Plugin/DebugKit/Controller/Component/ToolbarComponent.php
You have downloaded the latest version of the DebugKit plugin, which uses closures. As you can see there, you need at least PHP 5.3 for this to work.
Simply download an earlier version of DebugKit which is compatible with your version of PHP.
I have same problem. I guess if you are using Cakphp 2.0 and higher, you cannot use Debugkit version lower than 2 because it has a different Plugin name convention. Files have a different tree structure.
So all you have to do is use a lower version and rename the files or update PHP or use lower version of Cakephp.
I had the same problem. DebugKit worked on my local server, but crashed with the same error online. The problem was that i didn't have a database connection. After i succesfully connected to the database, debugkit worked fine.

CakePHP 2.0 Plugin URL

Trying to get CakePHP work with subfolders for Controllers, Views, or Models is not really working and from what I've read I need to use "Plugins". Right now I have the following folder structure:
/app/Plugin/Manager/
/Controller
CandyController.php
/Models
/View
/Candy
viewCandy.ctp
ManagerAppController.php
ManagerAppModel.php
When I try and set my url to: http://localhost/Manager/Candy/viewCandy/123. I get the error message: "ManagerController does not exist". Why is CakePHP not picking up that it should look in the Manager plugin folder?
Now that 2.0 has been released the docs are fleshed out a bit more. This is described in the Plugin section of the cookbook.
They suggest putting this in bootstrap.php instead of routes.php:
CakePlugin::loadAll(); // Loads all plugins at once
CakePlugin::load('ContactManager'); //Loads a single plugin
Here is the solution:
Go to /app/Config/routes.php and add the line CakePlugin::load(array('YourPluginName')); after the line CakePlugin::routes();. In my case it was line 40.
Basically CakePHP 2.0 doesn't automatically load plugins. I think that's fine and dandy, but there isn't really any documentation for this.
