this is my details view is there something wrong here that is making it not show the details

Pobiega•10mo ago

are you sure there is any data being passed to the view? set a breakpoint in the controller action before you invoke the view

ErenOP•10mo ago

where is this sorry if im asking a dumb question i had to create a database which i did then trough nuggets create the tables and that also worked now showing me the screen at the top if u also need this info just incase

Pobiega•10mo ago

so in MVC you have three components Model, View, Controller I want you to go into the controller and show us the code

ErenOP•10mo ago

oh alright ill send it right now its saying the code is to long to send in here too many characters

ErenOP•10mo ago

idk which link is correct here

Pobiega•10mo ago

The last one. And uh... how is that not obvious? I genuinely ask.

ErenOP•10mo ago

oh okay so u see what the issue is or as in the break point position u mentioned

Pobiega•10mo ago

The first is the path to a file on your computer. the second is just "paste.mod.gg" the third one has some form of unique ID in it

ErenOP•10mo ago

yh just asking to make sure my bad

Pobiega•10mo ago

I think thats the wrong controller?

ErenOP•10mo ago

i also have created another controller for the gamelogs let me send this in too maybe thats what is needed here to look at

Pobiega•10mo ago

Look. You paste an image of the GameLogs view empty and you send me the code for an unrelated controller Come on!

ErenOP•10mo ago

sorry

ErenOP•10mo ago

this is the other controller that is related to gamelogs

Pobiega•10mo ago

okay so what we are looking at is

        public async Task<IActionResult> Index()
        {
            return View(await _context.GameLogs.ToListAsync());
        }

        public async Task<IActionResult> Index()
        {
            return View(await _context.GameLogs.ToListAsync());
        }

thats the action that calls the view you showed

ErenOP•10mo ago

yeah

Pobiega•10mo ago

lets separate that into two calls, so we can inspect the variable var gamelogs = await _context... then return View(gamelogs);

ErenOP•10mo ago

okay so i will change that real quick so u have the gamelogs awaiting context then the view returns the gamelogs

Pobiega•10mo ago

its the exact same code as you already have just broken up into two lines

ErenOP•10mo ago

yeah just seperated

Pobiega•10mo ago

ye and then I want you to set a breakpoint on the second line, the return one

ErenOP•10mo ago

okay ill change it to that real quick and set the breakpoint done

Pobiega•10mo ago

okay, and the breakpoint is set?

ErenOP•10mo ago

yes but when i click f11 it doesnt bring me to it

Pobiega•10mo ago

thats... uh... what start the program, open your gamelogs page that should hit the breakpoint

ErenOP•10mo ago

it did yes

ErenOP•10mo ago

this is what its showing rn

ErenOP•10mo ago

sorry if screenshots are annoying

Pobiega•10mo ago

count = 0 your database contains no game log entries

ErenOP•10mo ago

so its counting nothing indeed

Pobiega•10mo ago

so yeah, no data is showing because you have no data

ErenOP•10mo ago

right and retrieving data will be done how exactly

Pobiega•10mo ago

what do you mean?

ErenOP•10mo ago

because we need to type in a specific location which is the url and then it will say hit miss or invalid location which should be the log of the game

Pobiega•10mo ago

so you're making the game Battleships?

ErenOP•10mo ago

seabattle yeah

Pobiega•10mo ago

await _context.GameLogs.ToListAsync(); this is the code that fetches all your logs from the database all of them but your database currently doesnt contain any

ErenOP•10mo ago

right so do i need to add it because it should just retrieve the data when a player does something but its not

Pobiega•10mo ago

uh are you mixing up the word "retrieve" and "add"? retrieve is to fetch something you already do that

ErenOP•10mo ago

let me show u what i mean cuz im wording it wrong

Pobiega•10mo ago

Go ahead, but I'm gonna go to bed.

ErenOP•10mo ago

so this is the result

ErenOP•10mo ago

then it should log that it was a miss for example oh alr goodnight

Pobiega•10mo ago

your code for ThrowBomb doesnt add anything to the logs database in fact, it doesnt write anything to anywhere it just updates the ViewBag 3 times. Please don't use the viewbag 😦

ErenOP•10mo ago

i have no idea else how to do it so what do i need to adjust for it to do that then

Pobiega•10mo ago

Add something to the database?

ErenOP•10mo ago

do i need to do that trough sql? because in the project they dont tell us to ever do that hence why im confused why its not working maybe another nugget command

Jimmacle•10mo ago

well, you can't get something from the database that you didn't put in

Pobiega•10mo ago

_context.GameLogs.Add(...) and then await _context.SaveChangesAsync(); but you need to figure out what to add and where

ErenOP•10mo ago

exactly my point but i dont understand why they never mention putting something in yeah is that missing in my code?

Pobiega•10mo ago

.. yes? I don't really understand how that isn't obvious Your code has no mention of adding to the database at all - and you are wondering if that's why your database is empty?
