Re: CakePHP Unit Test Model Woes :(

This may or may not fix your problem but:
1) You test db should be empty. The framework will automatically
create/drop the tables for each test.
2) You don't need to call "loadFixtures" at the start of each test.
3) I don't think you need to App::import your model if you use
ClassRegistry::init. Not 100% on that, and it shouldn't hurt even if
you do.
4) In my fixtures I have the line:
var $import = array('table' => 'name', 'records' => false);
I had to use the actually table name to get everything working with
ClassRegistry setting the right database. It didn't work if I just
specified the model.

Hope that helps.
