i'm a little stuck trying to test my users-controller in cakephp, i have an action wich sends an email to a certain email address. The email utility works, no problem whatsoever. I want to mock the email utility so that when i test the action (with "testAction"), no email will be sent. I already searched all over stackoverflow and tried a lot of solutions, the current code is like follows: UsersController: <pre><code> /** * Get Email Utility, use method so that unit testing is possible * @return object */ public function _getEmailer() { return new CakeEmail(); } public function lostPassword() { if($this->request->is('post')) { $email = $this->request->data['User']['email']; $this->User->recursive = -1; $user = $this->User->find('first', array('conditions' => array('email' => $email))); if(!$user) { $this->Session->setFlash('Error: user not found'); return $this->render(); } $recoverTrials = $this->User->Recover->find('count', array('conditions' => array('email' => $email))); if($recoverTrials > 3) { $this->Session->setFlash(__('message.recover-too-many')); return $this->redirect('/'); } // Generate random key to reset password $key = md5(microtime().rand()); $data = array('user_id' => $user['User']['id'], 'key' => $key, 'active' => 1, 'created' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')); if(!$this->User->Recover->save($data)) { $this->Session->setFlash('Error while sending the recovery-mail'); return $this->redirect('/'); } $this->Email = $this->_getEmailer(); $this->Email->emailFormat('html'); $this->Email->to($email); $this->Email->subject('Password recover'); $this->Email->replyTo('noreply@domain.com'); $this->Email->from(array('noreply@domain.com' => 'Sender ID')); $this->Email->template('recover'); $this->Email->viewVars(array('key' => $key)); // Set variables for template try { $this->Email->send(); } catch(Exception $e) { $this->Session->setFlash('Error while sending the recovery-mail'); return $this->render(); } $this->Session->setFlash('The recovery mail with instructions to reset your password has been sent. Please note that the link will only remain active for 2 hours.'); return $this->redirect('/'); } } </code></pre> And my test class looks like (excerpt): <pre><code>public function testPostLostPassword() { $this->Controller = $this->generate('Users', array( 'methods' => array( '_getEmailer' ), 'components' => array('Security') )); $emailer = $this->getMock('CakeEmail', array( 'to', 'emailFormat', 'subject', 'replyTo', 'from', 'template', 'viewVars', 'send' )); $emailer->expects($this->any()) ->method('send') ->will($this->returnValue(true)); $this->Controller->expects($this->any()) ->method('_getEmailer') ->will($this->returnValue($emailer)); Correct email $data = array('User' => array('email' => 'me@domain.com')); $result = $this->testAction('/lostPassword', array('method' => 'post', 'data' => $data, 'return' => 'contents')); } </code></pre> What am i doing wrong? The Email utility still sends out the email to my address, even though i mocked it... Thanks in advance!

1. COI don't see anything wrong, works fine for me. Maybe you should show all of the relevant code, not just a broken snippet. ps, please always mention your exact CakePHP version!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
