I'm trying to use cake bake to scaffolding my project but when it goes generate the views I get this errors messages:

Before that I have some error with my database connection which I solved using sudo ln -s in MAMP mysql bin to library mysql bin.

Looks like something is configured incorrectly. Try re-installing CakePHP and take care in noting the app path. – Martin Bean
I already did! I even change the cake version but doesn't work! – Cald
var_dump() whatever’s passed to dirname() on line 89 of /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/apeppers/romeo2/lib/Cake/Utility/File.php. That may point you in the direction of what’s wrong. – Martin Bean
DId you create a model named File? – AD7six
Yes I did.. I figured that out last night and my thoughts were "can't be something so stupid" and it was! – Cald

In CakePHP you can't bake a table named files for some reason this conflict with cake's File.php module.

In case anybody else has the same problems I did, here's what I had to do to get the error to go away:

  1. Change my table name from "files" to something else (I used "available_files")
  2. Change all foreign keys in other tables from "file_id" to "available_file_id"
  3. Use "cake schema generate" to regenerate the schema

I also deleted all of the old files that had gotten generated, including in the app\Test directory. I don't know if this is necessary, but I wanted everything as clean as possible.
