Biting the bullet and doing some playing around with model unit testing.
As a bit of a trial, I've got a beforeSave which searches $this for the max
of a field and increments it by 1.
code:
public function beforeSave($options = array()) { if
(!isset($this->data['number'])) { $lastNumber =
$this->find('first', [ 'fields' => ['id', 'max_number'],
'conditions' => ['Issue.project_id' =>
$this->data['project_id']] ]); $this->data['number'] =
++$lastNumber['Issue']['max_number']; } return true;}
max_number is a virtual field described by
public $virtualFields = array( 'max_number' => 'MAX(number)');
My test asserts that the $this->Issue->beforeSave() returns true, and that
$this->Issue->data['number'] is a predictable result:
public function testBeforeSaveShouldIncrementNewIssueNumber() {
$this->loadFixtures('Issue', 'Project', 'IssueType');
$this->Issue->data = [ 'project_id' => 1, 'type_id' =>
1, 'short_description' => 'lorem ipsum', 'description'
=> 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet', 'created' => '2013-06-07
13:34:20', 'modified' => '2013-06-07 13:34:20', ];
$this->assertTrue($this->Issue->beforeSave()); // assumes the
fixture has 10 records for project 1 $this->assertEquals(11,
$this->Issue->data['number']);}
I feel that using fixtures here is a little bit dirty - is there a way to
pass mocked data to beforeSave in this instance and remove the need for the
database/fixtures in this instance given all beforeSave() is doing is
adding incrementing the max_number for a Project?
