Testing models using Simpletest and CodeIgniter

Question

I am new to the PHP world and I am trying to setup some tests for my models. I am using CodeIgniter and Simpletest. I keep getting this error:

Fatal error: Class 'CI_Model' not found...

I assume that this happens because my model extends from CI_Model . CI_Model class has the following code:

if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

So my question is: how can I test my models using Simpletest?

Answer 1

Your test script needs to configure the necessary environment. In this case, you can define BASEPATH :

define('BASEPATH', '/your/path');
