控制器单元测试失败，并显示SQLSTATE [42000]错误

Question

I want to unit test a controller action and have some problem toio excecute it. The Error i got is the following:

SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'questionExists' at line 1

The Method:

questionExists

is defined inside the Question Model.

My test function looks like this:

public function testView() {
        $result = $this->testAction('/questions/questions/view/1', array('return' => 'vars'));
    }

The Controller action i want to test looks like this:

public function view($id = null) {

    if (!$this->Question->questionExists($id, 'id_virtual')) {
        throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid question'));
    }
    $options = array('conditions' => array('Question.id_virtual' => $id));
    $this->set('question', $this->Question->find('first', $options));
}

So this is very confusing to me. Can anybody point me to the right direction ?

Answer 1

Your model class is not found, CakePHP creates an instance on the fly for that table but this is not more than the basic Model class. When the code is then called it tries to call that method on an instance that is not your Question model in your app. You'll have to figure out what that happens.
