thanks for all the answers.
i want to achieve this:
whenever the save() process failed, not matter what the reason was (db
connection, missing field in db, code error etc. etc.), I need to
know!
so i created a test case with a fake field that does not exist in my
table, so i make sure that save() fails:
$updates['Report']['fictionalField']= $new_status;
now the data is not saved and i still get an unempty array returned!!
and so my check
updated = $this->Report->save($updates);
if ($updated)
{}
returns true and i would think the saving worked.
somehow i cannot catch that error!
