Re: When is a form post not a form post?

I guess because it threw me. 

In most cases, I've previously checked isPost, now is('post'). In other places, I would check for data, but that's not good practice now, because GET data is also on the request.

Also, when I see method="post" on the form element, and POST on the HTTP call, then I would expect the method on the request to also be post. If method() is going to report PUT, then I would expect that the actual form method, and HTTP verb would also be PUT. After all, that's convention (over configuration, or code obfuscation).

I am not quite sure why you are making this into your own science project :)
it is fairly simple actually

have an "id" field in your table => edit => PUT

dont have an "id" field in your table => add => POST

That's documented - and exactly as easy and straightforward as it sounds

If you don't care about PUT/POST in your actions, you can indeed just check for both (as I have always done so far):

    if ($this->request->is(array('post', 'put')) {}

This works for all edit and add actions. Always.

Done in a few seconds.. :)

So, having decided to always specify the action is the Form::create, so I can only be concerns with detecting a POST for form submissions, I'd really like to make sure that is covered in my unit testing.

But that's a tricky one.

I guess I would need to write a unit test for any view that has a form, and mock the FormHelper to expect that any create() had an array with an action entry to specify the expected action.  Writing unit tests for views is generally frowned on, so much so, that an example of how to do this is not given in the doco.

If the issue holds my attention long enough, I'll post back.
