Two things:
1) I would suggest using the more fully qualified format of
testAction: testAction(array('controller'=>'galleries', 'action' =>
'show', 'xyz')); For simple requests both formats should be identical,
but the latter will be more useful when you start applying more
complex routing schemes.
2) If your controller method being tested calls Controller::redirect()
at any time, the test exit without any warning. This is because the
redirect method was refactored some time ago to call Object::_stop()
upon completion (a smart thing, IMHO), which is actually just a
wrapper for exit(). You can get around this by overriding the _stop
method in your app_controller, but only for test execution:
/**
* Override of Object::_stop.
*
* For unit testing of controllers.
*
* @param integer $status
* @return mixed Null if testing, execution of Object::_stop otherwise.
*/
function _stop($status = 0) {
if (defined('CAKEPHP_UNIT_TEST_EXECUTION') &&
CAKEPHP_UNIT_TEST_EXECUTION == 1) {
return;
}
else return parent::_stop();
}
