I haven't had time to write a Bakery article regarding this, but update to
latest SVN head and look for testAction() in CakeTestSuite. I still have to
add a couple of things but I'll try to give you an idea here:
Say you have typical Articles controller, with articles model, and it looks
like this:
<?php
class ArticlesController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Articles';
var $helpers = array('Ajax', 'Form', 'Html');
function index($short = null) {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$this->Article->save($this->data);
}
if (!empty($short)) {
$result = $this->Article->findAll(null, array('id',
'title'));
} else {
$result = $this->Article->findAll();
}
if (isset($this->params['requested'])) {
return $result;
}
$this->set('title', 'Articles');
$this->set('articles', $result);
}
}
?>
Create then a file named articles_controller.test.php on your
app/tests/cases/controllers directory and inside put:
<?php
class ArticlesControllerTest extends CakeTestCase {
function startCase() {
echo '<h1>Starting Test Case</h1>';
}
function endCase() {
echo '<h1>Ending Test Case</h1>';
}
function startTest($method) {
echo '<h3>Starting method ' . $method . '</h3>';
}
function endTest($method) {
echo '<hr />';
}
function testIndex() {
$result = $this->testAction('/articles/index');
debug($result);
}
function testIndexShort() {
$result = $this->testAction('/articles/index/short');
debug($result);
}
function testIndexShortGetRenderedHtml() {
$result = $this->testAction('/articles/index/short',
array('return' => 'render'));
debug(htmlentities($result));
}
function testIndexShortGetViewVars() {
$result = $this->testAction('/articles/index/short',
array('return' => 'vars'));
debug($result);
}
function testIndexFixturized() {
$result = $this->testAction('/articles/index/short',
array('fixturize' => true));
debug($result);
}
function testIndexPostFixturized() {
$data = array('Article' => array('user_id' => 1, 'published'
=> 1, 'slug'=>'new-article', 'title' => 'New Article', 'body' => 'New
Body'));
$result = $this->testAction('/articles/index',
array('fixturize' => true, 'data' => $data, 'method' => 'post'));
debug($result);
}
}
?>
Ok couple of things:
* In second parameter of testAction() you send an array with attributes.
Among others use:
- return: set to what you want returned. Valid values are: 'vars'
(so you get the view vars available after executing action), 'render' (so
you get html generated once action is run), or 'return' to get the returned
value when action uses $this->params['requested']. Default is 'return'.
- fixturize: set to true if you want your models auto-fixturized (so
your application tables get copied, along with their records, to test tables
so if you change data it does not affect your real application.) If you set
'fixturize' to an array of models, then only those models will be
auto-fixturized while the other will remain with live tables.
- data: see last item
- method: see last item
* testAction()can auto-fixturize the model so if your test submits data (and
therefore saves records, see next item) you can safely do it on test tables,
automatically created for you.
* You can POST data as POST or GET using the 'data' setting, where you set
it to be an associative array consisting of fields => value. Take a look at
function testIndexPostFixturized() in above test case to see how we emulate
posting form data for a new article submission.

SimpleTest
Do you know when that will be available in ? We currently need to
write unit tests for our controllers and I am debating if we should
wait until this is released or use testsuite in the meantime and move
to CakeTest once thats available?
