Any examples of programmatically creating a simple product in Magento2?

[davetbo]

I have looked extensively.  I have found many examples for Magento 1.x but none for 2.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  I've got this, but it's not working:

public function savePiece($data) {
        $data['piece'] = unserialize($data['piece']);
        $this->_logger->debug('SavePiece data received: '. print_r($data, true));
        $website = $this->websiteRepo->get($data['storeCode']);
        $store = $this->storeRepo->get($data['storeCode']);
        $group = $this->groupRepo->get($store->getStoreGroupId());
        $category = $this->categoryRepo->get($group->getRootCategoryId(), $store->getId());
        $productFactory = new ProductFactory($this->objectManager);
        $product = $productFactory->create();
        $product->setSku($data['piece']['sku']);
        $product->setName($data['piece']['name']);
        $product->setPrice($data['piece']['al_original_price']);
        $product->setStoreId($store->getId());
        $product->setWebsiteIds(array($website->getId()));
        $product->setTypeId('simple');
        $product->setAttributeSetId(4);
        $product->setStatus(1);
        $product->setCategoryIds(array($category->getId()));
        $product->setCreatedAt(strtotime('now'));
        $product->setTaxClassId(2);
        $product->setDescription('Description');
        
        $product = $this->productRepo->save($product);
       
}     

When I test this with CURL I get "Unable to save product."  If instead I try $product->save(), I get this error:

Undefined offset: 1 in /usr/local/zend/var/apps/http/magento-dev.artsitesonline.com/80/_docroot_/vendor/magento/module-catalog-url-rewrite/Model/ProductUrlRewriteGenerator.php on line 166' in /usr/local/zend/var/apps/http/magento-dev.artsitesonline.com/80/_docroot_/vendor/magento/framework/Webapi/ErrorProcessor.php:194

Any thoughts?  I also have a bunch of custom attributes I was going to use, but when I started getting errors I pared it back to just the settings I thought might be most likely to be required.  I can add the others back after I get a simple example working.  I appreciate everyone's help!

Best,
Dave

Just see how the core saves the products in the backend: https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2.0.0/app/code/Magento/Catalog/Controller/Adminhtml/Product...

[Xubaer]

check the following code snippet it worked for me to create simple products.

$simple_product = $this->objectManager->create('\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product');
$simple_product->setSku('123');
$simple_product->setName('Product Name');
$simple_product->setDescription('Description');
$simple_product->setAttributeSetId(4);
$simple_product->setStatus(1);
$simple_product->setTypeId('simple');
$simple_product->setPrice(0);
$simple_product->setWebsiteIds(array(1));
$simple_product->setCategoryIds(array(1));
$simple_product->setStockData(array(
'use_config_manage_stock' => 0, //'Use config settings' checkbox
'manage_stock' => 1, //manage stock
'min_sale_qty' => 1, //Minimum Qty Allowed in Shopping Cart
'max_sale_qty' => 2, //Maximum Qty Allowed in Shopping Cart
'is_in_stock' => 1, //Stock Availability
'qty' => 100 //qty
)
);
$simple_product->setData('manufacturer','etc'); // save attribute | attribute code, value
$simple_product->setVisibility(4); // catalog and search
 
try{
$simple_product->save();
} catch(Exception $e){
echo $e->getMessage();
}

Xubaer and Dimitry,

Thanks for the assistance.  I looked at Dimitry's example and it was a bit confusing for me (I couldn't figure out where all the constructor arguments were coming from).

Xubaer's example was much more concrete and similar to what I had before.  However, I just tried it and I'm getting an error.  First off, I'm calling it in a custom API call. I have other custom API calls working, so I generally understand how they're supposed to be called.  When I call this one with only Xubaer's code in the called function, I'm getting this error:

[2015-12-28 17:45:08] main.CRITICAL: exception 'Exception' with message 'Report ID: webapi-56817524ae0be; Message: Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /usr/local/zend/var/apps/http/magento-dev.artsitesonline.com/80/_docroot_/vendor/magento/module-catalog-url-rewrite/Model/ProductUrlRewriteGenerator.php on line 166' in /usr/local/zend/var/apps/http/magento-dev.artsitesonline.com/80/_docroot_/vendor/magento/framework/Webapi/ErrorProcessor.php:194

If I comment out just the line where it calls $simple_product->save(), I get no error.  Any thoughts?

I'm still working on this and neither of these solutions were working for me.  However, I found the book Magento 2 Developers Guide and it's been very helpful.  I'm now trying to create products via API with a call like this:

$testdata = json_encode(array(
         'product' => array(
                  'sku' => 'testsku', 
                  'name' => 'test API name', 
                  'attribute_set_id' => 4, 
                  'price' => 19.99,
                  'status' => 1, 
                  'type_id' => 'simple', 
                  'weight' => 1
         )
));

$url = 'http://mydomain/rest/V1/products';
$authHeader = $this->oAuthClientService->buildAuthorizationHeaderForAPIRequest(
      'POST',
      new Uri($url),
      unserialize($this->oAuthKeyService->findKeyByIdAndOwner('magento', 1)->getAccessToken())
);
$ch = curl_init($url);        
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $testdata);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
     'Content-Type: application/json',
     'Content-Length: ' . strlen($testdata),
     'Authorization: ' . $authHeader
));;
$result = curl_exec($ch);

I have OAuth working in other calls, so I know that's not the problem.  I'm getting this error:

Magento product creation result: exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'catalogsearch_fulltext_scope2' doesn't exist' in /usr/local/zend/var/apps/http/magento-mydomain/80/_docroot_/vendor/magento/zendframework1/library/Zend/Db/Statement/Pdo.php:228

The first time I got this error it said catalogsearch_fulltext_scope6 instead of ...scope2.  I restored the database to from a clean export I did right after first installing Magento, and now I'm getting scope2 instead of scope6.  

I'm also seeing this error in my logs and I'm not sure why:

[2016-01-11 22:13:32] main.CRITICAL: exception 'Exception' with message 'Report ID: webapi-5694290c06f31; Message: Asymmetric transaction rollback.' in /usr/local/zend/var/apps/http/mydomain/80/_docroot_/vendor/magento/framework/Webapi/ErrorProcessor.php:194

I'm not familiar enough with Magento to know why it's doing this.  I'm using Magento 2.0.0.  Please advise.  Your help is greatly appreciated. 

[davetbo]

I think I figured it out.  I'm not sure why I was getting the catalogsearch_fulltext_scope6 errors, but when I reinstalled I was getting the same error but with ...scope2.  After reinstalling I hadn't yet built the indexes, so apparently it had not created the index tables yet.  After building the indexes for the first time, the problem table not found error about catalogsearch_fulltext_scope2 seems to have gone away.  

I would love to hear what the other error is about, though ('Asymmetric transaction rollback').

Best,
Dave
