Updating a record throws an exception

Running from within a command, that's why the trace is short.

New project, new Salesforce, can't find out why 😩

Thanks a lot :)

Please provide the code you're trying to execute.

I think i am experiencing a similar problem:

I want to update a record like this:

$account = Account::find('a017Q00001E2xxxxxx');

$account->update(['Description__c' => 'Hello World']);

but i get the following Error:

{
    "errorCode": "METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED",
    "message": "HTTP Method 'PATCH' not allowed. Allowed are HEAD,GET,POST"
}

The following Forrest method worked though:

Forrest::sobjects('Mandat__c/a017Q00001E2xxxxxx',[
    'method' => 'patch',
    'body'   => [
        'Description__c'  => 'Hello World',
    ]
]);

Any idea what the problem could be?

@IdrisN , for me it was not an update method, I've tried to UPSERT records.
My problem was I didn't define a $primaryKey variable in the model of the object I wanted to Upsert.
For you I can see that you're trying to update, so I guess it is a different problem, but maybe the direction I write here might be helpful for you.

Good luck.

@IdrisN could you provide the code for your Account model? Maybe in this instance, Id isn't getting returned automatically in the columns, and you might benefit by defining the $columns attribute on your model. Specifically making sure that the Id field is present. Example:

public $columns = [
        'Custom_Text_Field__c',
        'Email',
        'FirstName',
        'LastName',
        'Company',
        'Custom_Date_Field__c',
        'Id',
        'CreatedDate',
        'LastModifiedDate',
        'IsDeleted',
    ];
