Yii Fixtures --- Exception: Unknown 'projects' properties for class 'ProjectTest'
I am following "Agile web application development with yii 1.1 and php5" and I am in the testing section with sections. I followed their code, but I cannot access the device ...
I run my tests with phpunit and it returns me this
c:\wamp\www\agileBook\protected\tests>phpunit unit/ProjectTest.php

How can I get it to work?
Thank you for your help
my fixture: C: \ wamp \ www \ agileBook \ protected \ tests \ fixtures \ tbl_project.php
<?php
return array(
'project1' => array(
'name' => 'Test Project 1',
'description' =>'This is test project 1',
'create_time' =>'',
'create_user_id' =>'',
'update_time' =>'',
'update_user_id' =>'',
),
'project2' => array(
'name' => 'Test Project 2',
'description' =>'This is test project 2',
'create_time' =>'',
'create_user_id' =>'',
'update_time' =>'',
'update_user_id' =>'',
),
),
?>
my test class Project: C: \ wamp \ www \ agileBook \ protected \ tests \ unit \ ProjectTest.php
I changed $ this-> projects ('project1') (from the book) to $ this-> projects ['project1'] because I can see in the forum post that projects are an array and not a method.
<?php
class ProjectTest extends CDbTestCase{
public $fixture = array('projects'=>'Project');
public function testRead(){
// READ the new project
$receivedProject = $this->projects['project1'];
$this->assertTrue($receivedProject instanceof Project);
$this->assertEquals($receivedProject->name,'Test Project 1');
}
}
?>
my test config: C: \ wamp \ www \ agileBook \ protected \ config \ test.php
<?php
return CMap::mergeArray(
require(dirname(__FILE__).'/main.php'),
array(
'components'=>array(
'fixture'=>array(
'class'=>'system.test.CDbFixtureManager',
),
'db'=>array(
'connectionString' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=trackstar_test',
'emulatePrepare' => true,
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
),
),
)
);

As mentioned, $ fixture needs to be fixed before $ fixtures.
I just wanted to comment on this:

If you do this, the test above will fail. The reason is in the Yii documentation:
// return all rows in the 'Comment' fixture table
$comments = $this->comments;
// return the row whose alias is 'sample1' in the `Post` fixture table
$post = $this->posts['sample1'];
// return the AR instance representing the 'sample1' fixture data row
$post = $this->posts('sample1');
