The first problem is actually instantiating the controller itself, e.g.
class BlogsControllerTestCase extends UnitTestCase
{
function setUp()
{
$this->object = new Blogs;
}
.......
......
This throws an error of the form:
Fatal error: Class 'Blogs' not found in /path/to/cake/tests/app/cases/controllers/blogs_controller.test.php on line 16
The same error happens for $this->object = new BlogsController;
After bringing this up on the IRC channel, Gwoo was kind enough to suggest using loadController. The result:
loadController('Blogs');
class BlogsControllerTestCase extends UnitTestCase
{
function setUp()
{
$this->object = new BlogsController;
}
.......
......
seems to load the controller. Cool!
However, instantiating the Controller in this way doesn't seem to load the related Model, as once an action of the controller is called, (e.g. $this->object->index();), we get complaints about any calls to model functions within that action.
e.g.
Fatal error: Call to a member function validates() on a non-object in ...........
Can anyone throw some light on the subject here. I've been trying to get a handle on controller testing for months at this stage and as a result, my controllers are untested.
All comments / suggestions will be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
