Re: CakePHP Unit Test Model Woes :(

Hi Matt,
Thanks but I'm still not quite there. I have tried variations on most
of these calls already.
My test database is not empty - it has a users table but there are no
records in the table. I get Error: Database table users for model
User was not found if I have no users table in the 'test' DB and it
uses this table with the var $import = array('table' => 'name',
'records' => false); line you mentioned.
I have been through your suggestions 1 by 1 but still don't have a
working test. You don't have a very simple example of a working model
test you could share by any chance?
Thanks,
Andy
