I placed BaseCase in the root of app/tests/cases
<?php
/**
* Base test case
*/
class BaseCase extends CakeTestCase {
var $fixtures = array(
'plugin.configuration.configuration',
'app.category',
'app.user',
'app.blog',
'app.download',
'app.comment',
'app.tag',
'app.blog_tag',
'app.upload',
'app.work',
);
}
?>
Then in each test case:
<?php
App::import('Model', 'Blog');
App::import('Tests', 'BaseCase', null, array(dirname(__FILE__) . DS .
'..' . DS));
class BlogTestCase extends BaseCase {
var $Blog = null;
// tests go here
}
?>
I don't have any $import or $records in my inherited classes.
Hope that helps,
Nick
