Currently I'm trying to test a controller which uses the authentication component to retrieve the user id. Since I'm fairly new to unit/integration testing, I have no idea how to make this working. Moreover, all the content that I could find for this particular problem is written for Cakephp version 2.
Controller function:
public function favorite(){
// Particular line where the problem is occurring:
$userId = $this->Auth->User()['id'];
// Get all favorite pictures of the user
$query = $this->UsersPictures->getFavoritePictures($userId);
$results = $query->all();
// Replace the link in the result set by a presigned url of Amazon
foreach($results as $result){
$result->picture->link = $this->Aws->getTokenizedItem($result->picture->link);
}
$this->set([
'success' => true,
'data' => [
'pictures' => $results
],
'_serialize' => ['success', 'data']
]);
}
Integration test:
public function testFavoriteShouldPass(){
$this->configRequest([
'headers' => [
'Accept' => 'application/json'
]
]);
$this->get('api/pictures/favorite/1.json');
$expected = [
'success' => true,
'data' => [
[
'user_id' => 1,
'picture_id' => 1,
'created' => '2016-04-03T20:35:40+0000',
'modified' => '2016-04-03T20:35:40+0000',
'picture' => [
'id' => 1,
'album_id' => 1,
'description' => 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet',
'link' => 'test',
'favorite' => true,
'created' => null,
'modified' => null,
'cover_photo' => true
]
]
]
];
$this->assertEquals($expected, $response);
}
My question is how can I insert a user with a default id of 1 for $this->Auth->User()['id']. I saw in other questions that I need to use something that looks like this:
$this->_controller->Auth
->staticExpects($this->any())
->method('user')
->will($this->returnValue([
'id' => 1,
'username' => 'admin',
'created' => '2013-05-08 00:00:00',
'modified' => '2013-05-08 00:00:00',
'email' => '[email protected]',
]));
However, I read that staticExpects is deprecated from phpunit version 3.8 (I'm using 5.2). How should I mock this?
