Re: CakePHP Unit Test Model Woes :(

Stop me if you've heard this before, but I'm having a problem unit
testing models. I've followed this conversation and poked around a
bunch elsewhere. Progress, but not yet a solution.

Problem: When I run my test case, CakePHP successfully inserts my
fixture data in to "user_tests" (and associated tables). But when it
runs the query, it selects from "users". This is using CakePHP 1.2
RC3.

The output shows me that it is working with the test_suite database
connection. I'm starting the test database with the tables defined,
but empty. After calling ClassRegistery::init(), $this->User->table is
'users', as is $this->User->useTable. I'd expected to see 'user_tests'
for it to work, but no dice.

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Dave C.

// condensed model (leaving out an association and other methods
class User extends AppModel {
function validateLogin($data) {
$params = array('conditions' => array('username' => $data
['username'],
'passwd' =>sha1($data
['passwd'])),
'recursive' => 2,
'fields' => array('id', 'username'));
$user = $this->find('all', $params);
...
}
}

// my fixture:
class UserTestFixture extends CakeTestFixture {
var $name = 'UserTest';

public $import = 'User';

public $records = array(
array('id' => 1, 'name' => 'Test User1', 'username' =>
'test1',
'email' => 'a1@b.c', 'parentuser_id' => null)
);
}

// my test:
class UserTestCase extends CakeTestCase {
public $fixtures = array('app.user_test');

public function testValidateLogin() {
$this->User =& ClassRegistry::init('User');

$validUser = array('username' => 'test1', 'passwd' => null);
$this->assertTrue($this->User->validateLogin($validUser),
'User was not found, but should have been:
%s');
}
}
