Re: Lost in Testing: Fixtures / testAction

Hi Ryan,

thank you for your research that helps me at least with the redirect.


What I still don't understand is how the data at 
/tests/fixtures/somemodel_fixture.php relates to the $this-Somemodel-data 
Array im Marks tutorial. When do I use which? Do I use both? 

Thanks for any hints!

Anja

 Your link did not work for me, but I used the search field and typed in

 If you use testAction to test a method in a controller that does a
 redirect, your test will terminate immediately, not yielding any results.
 
 See https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/4154 for a possible fix.

Lost in Testing: Fixtures / testAction

2011-02-25 Thread acl68
Hi everybody,

I am using Cake 1.3. and am just doing my first steps with testing ever. 

I had a look at 
http://book.cakephp.org/#!/view/1210/Testing-controllers
and worked through Marks Tutorial 
http://mark-story.com/posts/view/testing-cakephp-controllers-the-hard-way

Since I am completely new to testing and quite stumbling around I am not sure 
how these two relate to each other. Are those different concepts in testing 
controllers? 

Also: does anybody know what happened to the link in 4.7.6.3 Pitfalls 
http://book.cakephp.org/#!/view/1213/Pitfalls in the cookbook? The Link to the 
mentioned tickets doesn't work. So I am not sure how to proceed, because 
nearly all my methods use redierts after the did what they should do.


Thanks in advance for any help!

Anja
