If you use lazy_loading you can get past this, only unit test what
each model will actually use, instead of having to load all fixtures
for each because of the default model chaining behavior required for
PHP4 support.
An alternative I've found useful prior to lazy_loading was creating a
BaseCase that extends CakeTestCase and loads all your fixtures in
there. Then simply extend your BaseCase when doing model testing,
easy as pie.
class BaseCase extends CakeTestCase{
var $fixtures = array(
//..fixtures here
);
}
Then with any new test I would just make sure to require BaseCase and
extend it.
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . 'base_case.php');
class ModelTestCase extends BaseCase {
//Tests go here.
}
But this was all prior to lazy_loading. If you use lazy_loading
(http://github.com/Phally/lazy_model) you can just use what table your
model test will actually use ignoring the rest, a much more efficient
approach to testing.
Hope that helps,
Nick
