derps

@alwayspaws I never made any claims to that effect, just pointing out that the attribute/combination dichotomy is fundamentally flawed.

I'm new to PHP, I would appreciate some cli examples on how to run the tests, after cloning from github and executing "composer install --dev"

@alwayspaws said in Product and combination types missing in Prestashop: Product Combinations https://www.hostknox.com/tutorials/prestashop/1.5-1.6/products/combinations "In PrestaShop you can offer the same product in different variations. For example, you can have the same product but in different colors, sizes, etc. Instead of creating a separate product for each variant you can add a single product in the catalog and then add combinations using product attributes (e.g. color, disk size, memory, etc.). To be able to do this you need to have the product attribute groups and attributes configured in advance." This is bad data modelling. They have managed to conflate the product data model with the catalog view of the product.

This is due to the fundamental flaw in PSs data model, where they for some weird reason opted to not use the database to maintain any integrity, but instead chose a hodgepodge of buggy PHP. There is a branch on github that is working on adding foreign key constraints, and once that is done, there will be plenty of opportunities to make things work as they should.
