Mariano,
I have tried writing some tests. This looks great. Thanks.
I am running into an issue when my controller actions is doing
redirects. For e.g. in my login action, the user is redirected to
another page if login is successful. However the cake redirect
function has an exit in it ( which is useful for the web application)
but the test framework exits when that happens.
What is the best way to handle this? In TestSuite, I think the
dispatch maybe handled differently since I was able to test the same
action with a post.
Thanks
Krishnan
