Re: Webtesting using SimpleTest: How to reset database?
I managed to work out a solution for this, and I released it as a library so everyone can use it. I've written in my blog about it. - Why web tests using the development database are a bad thing: http://josh.ch/wordpress/?p=8 - Finally: use fixtures with your CakePHP web tests!: http://josh.ch/wordpress/?p=71 I hope somebody else will find this useful. :-) Please leave a message if you try it... I'm happy to optimize it further. On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 2:30 PM, Joshua Muheim wrote: > Thank you, but this looks like an article that only tells how to use > fixtures with unit (model) tests.

Thank you, but this looks like an article that only tells how to use fixtures with unit (model) tests. I need this kind of stuff for web (view) tests...

Re: Webtesting using SimpleTest: How to reset database?
Hi, Have you read this? http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/testing-models-with-cakephp-1-2-test-suite It seems to explain how to use fixtures.

So I'm the only one who needs such functionality? Does CakePHP simply ignore this great functionality in Rails, or does it offer in a different way or paradigm? I guess for the sake of simplicity I will just write a small script which deletes all tables when starting the tests and inserts some basic data into it...
