testing a controller's add action

Hi

I already managed to test some actions of controllers using testAction
method; these were actions that were expected to return something.

Now, I'd like to test an add action of the controller, thus, following
the book I did:

$data = array(
'Paper' => array(
'title' => 'MyTitle',
'year' => 2009
));
debug($data);
$results = $this->testAction(
array(
'controller' => 'papers',
'action' => 'admin_add',
),
array('data' => $data, 'method' => 'post')
);

but when executing the controller's action (I tried that with the
debug), the $this->data is always empty and uninitialized... where am I
going wrong?

thanks in advance
Lorenzo
