Hi,
I've also had to deal with testing controllers that use Auth
lately. Auth has improved heaps since 1.3 but it still seems to be
coupled with various bits and pieces of the core, and hence you might
get different behaviours between the website and testing.
I recommend mocking out Auth and getting it to return the value you
expect, in this case if your logged in user is 1, you can use
something like this :
$Users->Auth->expects($this->once())->method('user')
-> with( 'id' )
->will($this->returnValue(1));

and if you need more info on phpunit :

The new move to phpunit in Cake 2, was a great idea. It's quite
powerful and allows you to do almost everything you need while unit
testing.
Hope this helps,
Shuku
