Stop me if you've heard this before, but I'm having a problem unit
testing models. I've followed this conversation and poked around a
bunch elsewhere. Progress, but not yet a solution.

Problem: When I run my test case, CakePHP successfully inserts my
fixture data in to "user_tests" (and associated tables). But when it
runs the query, it selects from "users". This is using CakePHP 1.2
RC3.

The output shows me that it is working with the test_suite database
connection. I'm starting the test database with the tables defined,
but empty. After calling ClassRegistery::init(), $this->User->table is
'users', as is $this->User->useTable. I'd expected to see 'user_tests'
for it to work, but no dice.

Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Dave C.

// condensed model (leaving out an association and other methods
class User extends AppModel {
    function validateLogin($data) {
        $params = array('conditions' => array('username' => $data
['username'],
                                              'passwd' =>sha1($data
['passwd'])),
                        'recursive' => 2,
                        'fields' => array('id', 'username'));
        $user = $this->find('all', $params);
        ...
    }
}

// my fixture:
class UserTestFixture extends CakeTestFixture {
    var $name = 'UserTest';

    public $import = 'User';

    public $records = array(
        array('id' => 1, 'name' => 'Test User1', 'username' =>
'test1',
              'email' => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'parentuser_id' => null)
    );
}

// my test:
class UserTestCase extends CakeTestCase {
    public $fixtures = array('app.user_test');

    public function testValidateLogin() {
        $this->User =& ClassRegistry::init('User');

        $validUser = array('username' => 'test1', 'passwd' => null);
        $this->assertTrue($this->User->validateLogin($validUser),
                          'User was not found, but should have been:
%s');
    }
}
