Re: Write unit test for a controller that uses AuthComponent in CakePHP 2.0.3

I am using the ControllerTestCase, so I have modified the generated
controller using the following code, which is a slightly modified
version of your suggested approach:
    $this->Users = $this->generate('Users', array(      'components'
=> array('Session', 'Auth')    ));    $this->Users->Auth-
>expects($this->once())      ->method('user')      ->with('id')      -
>will($this->returnValue(1));
But it still fails. I completely agree with AuthComponent being
inconsisten between the website usage and testing. I have flagged a
ticket and I'm in discussion with Mark Story about that.
