and it doesn't create the views directory under app/tests/ |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 |
mandys |
not web testing |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 |
mandys |
the caketest examples are all for unit testing |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 |
mandys |
i just am confused whether to use caketest or cakewebtest for web page testing |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 |
mandys |
i even wrote sample tests |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 |
mandys |
and run tests |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 |
mandys |
i can view /tests.php |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 |
mandys |
i have setup everything |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 14:08 |

your app will have a url that will elt you run the core tests and your custom app tests |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 14:05 |
TommyO |
mandys: then look into how the core tests are written to write tests for your own app |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 14:04 |
TommyO |
mandys: bake an app skeleton and it will bake the proper test directory structure for you. bake a model and it bakes the model test file skeleton for you, etc |

anyone on my question? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:57 |
ethanm |
is there a way to specify that? |

I am providing $form->input with an array of $options that are numerically indexed, but the form helper doesn't preserve the keys when it makes a select box |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:56 |
mandys |
or should they be under controllers? |
| # |

Hi. If you are using a multi-select box for a HABTM, and therefore the field name is Category.Category, for example, where do you perform the validation? As a 'Category' validation rule in the Category model? |

jaredhoyt |
beatzombies: the easiest way to perform that in the controller is add if(empty($this->data)) { $this->data = load some data here ... } else { process submitted data } |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:37 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: wait, so when i reference ContributorsItem as in $form->checkbox('ContributorsItem.contributed'); what does cakephp look at to get that value? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:36 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: thanks, ill definitely be back with more questions |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:36 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: alright, i see i need to think about this some more |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 |
jaredhoyt |
you're view variables are lost ;) |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 |
jaredhoyt |
beatzombies: when you hit submit, only form data is passed into the controller action |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 |
beatzombies |
i see |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: so when i submit i wouldnt be able to just do a save() because the submitted data to the controller would not be model information |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:35 |
jaredhoyt |
if you're setting db data into a view var, then you'd do something like <?php echo $form->checkbox('Model.fieldname', array('value' => $view_var['path_to_field']); ?> |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:33 |
jaredhoyt |
beatzombies: well, save them as you would any other form data |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:33 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: and then manually set the values in the database when im updated those values? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 |
jaredhoyt |
beatzombies: then you're going to have to manually set the checkbox value |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: is that the wrong way to do things? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 |
jaredhoyt |
if you just want to display data in text form, then do $this->set('some_var', $this->Model->find()) |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: i am kind of making my own array of values from various models in my controller and setting that for my view to use |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:32 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: oh, i see |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:31 |
jaredhoyt |
if you want form inputs to automatically load db data |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:31 |
jaredhoyt |
or read() or whatever |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:31 |
jaredhoyt |
$this->data = $this->Model->find() |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:31 |
jaredhoyt |
it is if you set it in the controller |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:30 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: hmm, is there a $this->data varialbe defined in the view? |
| # |
Aug 7th 2008, 13:28 |
beatzombies |
jaredhoyt: let me try that |
