Do I still need Model::$whitelist when using the Security component? --psybear

Hey everybody to my knowledge, the $whitelist attribute tells a model, which attributes should be writable when it comes to a save. I'm using the Security component which ensures that nobody tampers with my forms (e.g. adding a new input field), so I guess I don't need $whitelist anymore, right?

Web tests: how do they stop when an error occured (e.g. when a behavior file can't be found)?

Hi all I want to tweak CakePHP's web tests. I find it absolutely not useful that they continue to run after an assertion failed, because most of the time when one assertion fails, then the rest of the tests won't pass, too. So I wonder where to "hook" into the code. I have already discovered the

Is there a better web interface for SimpleTest?
