Re: Test Suite and HABTM Models - Not Working

Thanks Anupom,

That got me past the missing table cake errors, but now 2/3 of the
tests that cake generated are failing.

Here is my post.test.php

App::import('Model', 'Post');

class PostTestCase extends CakeTestCase {
var $Post = null;
var $fixtures = array('app.post');

function start() {
parent::start();
$this->Post = & ClassRegistry::init('Post');
}

function testPostInstance() {
$this->assertTrue(is_a($this->Post, 'Post'));
}

function testPostFind() {
$results = $this->Post->recursive = -1;
$results = $this->Post->find('first');
$this->assertTrue(!empty($results));

$expected = array('Post' => array(
'id' => 1,
'name' => 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet'
));
$this->assertEqual($results, $expected);
}
}

The two cases that fail both reference testPostFind(). After a little
poking around, $this->Post->find('first') does not return anything at
all. The sql queries insert my data from the fixture and truncate it 3
times before finally dropping the tables. However, the query that I
believe is being generated from find('first') is being run on my
default connection, as opposed to the test connection. Shouldn't this
query be run on the test database since that's where the dummy data is
being inserted?

Any help is appreciated.
