How to use Sugarcrm\Sugarcrm\Util\Uuid::uuid1() in a custom entry point? - sugarcrm

Question

I am learning suitecrm. I need to create a new bean using a specific id from a custom entry point, generating the id is not working, when i try this code
// Create bean
$testAccountBean = BeanFactory::newBean('Accounts');
// Set the new flag
$testAccountBean->new_with_id = true;
$id = Sugarcrm\Sugarcrm\Util\Uuid::uuid1();
$testAccountBean->id = $id;
$testAccountBean->name = generateRandomString();
$testAccountBeanId = $testAccountBean->save();
echo $testAccountBeanId;
I get nothing
When I inspect the result of calling Sugarcrm\Sugarcrm\Util\Uuid::uuid1() nothing get in return.
Thanks for any idea

Answer 1

The function is called create_guid, require the include/utils.php and you will be able to call it.
<?php
if (!defined('sugarEntry')) {
define('sugarEntry', true);
}
require_once 'data/BeanFactory.php';
require_once 'include/utils.php';
$testAccountBean = BeanFactory::newBean('Accounts');
$id = create_guid();
Having said so - If you do $testAccountBean->new_with_id = true; it means you will provide your own ID, we use that to insert IDs from other systems/migrations. But if you need the GUID just remove that line and suitecrm will generate it for you.

You will need to call it in following manner:
$testAccountBean->new_with_id = true;
$testAccountBean->id = create_guid();
Note that if you assigned your own ID using create_guid function then "new_with_id" need to be set as well. You can find function at this path: include\utils.php
Following is the function body:
function create_guid()
{
$microTime = microtime();
list($a_dec, $a_sec) = explode(' ', $microTime);
$dec_hex = dechex($a_dec * 1000000);
$sec_hex = dechex($a_sec);
ensure_length($dec_hex, 5);
ensure_length($sec_hex, 6);
$guid = '';
$guid .= $dec_hex;
$guid .= create_guid_section(3);
$guid .= '-';
$guid .= create_guid_section(4);
$guid .= '-';
$guid .= create_guid_section(4);
$guid .= '-';
$guid .= create_guid_section(4);
$guid .= '-';
$guid .= $sec_hex;
$guid .= create_guid_section(6);
return $guid;
}
