Re: CakePHP Unit Test Model Woes :(

Dave

I think I had (have) the same problem. Don't ask me why, but try something like this. I had to force useDbConfig in certain circumstances. (I originally posted this on the blog at debuggable)

App::Import('Model', 'Cutoff');

class CutoffTestCase extends CakeTestCase {

var $fixtures = array('app.cutoff');

function start() {
parent::start();
$this->Sut = & ClassRegistry::init('Cutoff');
$this->Sut->useDbConfig = 'test_suite';
}

function testXYZ() {
// Findings will vary depending on whether useDbConfig is set above.
// If useDbConfig is omitted - get results from default (live) DB
// If useDbConfig is set to test_suite, get results from $test DB config
pr($this->Sut->find('all'));
// assertSomething down here
}

}

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,
