copied!<p>I'm getting <code>E_NOTICE</code> errors in a core CakePHP file when it tries to reference a never-set or unset session (<code>cake/libs/cake_session.php line 372</code>):</p> <pre><code>function read($name = null) { if (is_null($name)) { return $this->__returnSessionVars(); } if (empty($name)) { return false; } $result = Set::classicExtract($_SESSION, $name); } </code></pre> <p>I've done a search through my code (in the app/ directory) and I can't find references to <code>$_SESSION</code> or <code>session_destroy</code>. Am I missing anything?</p> <p>This error shows up when I try to run any unit tests. Is this...normal? I've cleared out the <code>cake/</code> directory and replaced it with another one (same version) just to make sure that I hadn't inadvertently modified anything in the core files, but I still get the same error. I'm not sure if this is just a flaw in the framework or something else.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>Here are the results of the test run on the command line:</p> <pre><code>Welcome to CakePHP v1.3.11 Console --------------------------------------------------------------- App : app Path: /var/www/program/app --------------------------------------------------------------- CakePHP Test Shell --------------------------------------------------------------- Running app case models/owners_equity E_NOTICE: Undefined variable: _SESSION in /var/www/program/cake/libs/cake_session.php on line 372 E_NOTICE: Undefined variable: _SESSION in /var/www/program/cake/libs/cake_session.php on line 372 ERROR->Unexpected PHP error [Undefined variable: _SESSION] severity [E_NOTICE] in [/var/www/program/cake/libs/cake_session.php line 372] in testGenerateOwnerWithdrawals in BalanceTestCase in /var/www/program/app/tests/cases/models/owners_equity.test.php ERROR->Unexpected PHP error [Undefined variable: _SESSION] severity [E_NOTICE] in [/var/www/program/cake/libs/cake_session.php line 372] in testGenerateOwnerWithdrawals in BalanceTestCase in /var/www/program/app/tests/cases/models/owners_equity.test.php </code></pre>
