Using yiidocsgenerator extension to generate documentation

Question

I posted in the Yii forum with no luck. I am hoping someone in this community got this extension working because I really need it!

I used the yiic docs check command, and all the models seem to finally pass the check. So, I proceeded to executing this command:

yiic docs C:\path to my site\protected\models

And at first this appears onscreen:

Building.. : MyApplication Class Reference
Version... : 1.1.7
Source URL:

And then this error pops up:

Building model...
PHP Error[2]:include<GxActiveRecord.php>: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in file C:\path-to-my-app\yii\framework\YiiBase.php at line 396

Where, at that line, I have the following code:

include($className.'.php');

I don't understand why it is looking for a class I do not have!! I found it here, but I don't know in what specific folder that class should reside, or better yet why I should have to download it separately when it's not specified in the instructions. Thanks.

Looks like you've generated models from giix which have GxActiveRecord as a base class and the doc parser does not find this base class, usually you've defined this as an import in your application config, so this may be an expected behavior.

You could try importing something like 'ext.giix.components.GxActiveRecord' in every one of your model classes or copy GxActiveRecord into your models directory just for generating the docs.
