Question

i have this testing class

<?php

class IndexControllerTest extends ControllerTestCase
{
....


    public function testValidLoginShouldGoToProfilePage()
    {
        $this->request->setMethod('POST')
              ->setPost(array(
                  'email' => 'capoarea',
                  'password' => '123456'
              ));
        $this->dispatch('/user/login');
        $this->assertRedirectTo('/index/index');

        $this->resetRequest()
             ->resetResponse();

        $this->request->setMethod('GET')
             ->setPost(array());
        $this->dispatch('/cliente/index');
        $this->assertRoute('default');
        $this->assertModule('default');
        $this->assertController('cliente');
        $this->assertAction('index');
        $this->assertNotRedirect();
    }

}

and this application.ini

[production]
.....
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts"
resources.db.params.charset = "utf8"
resources.db.adapter = "pdo_mysql"
resources.db.params.host = "localhost"
resources.db.params.username = "root"
resources.db.params.password = ""
resources.db.params.dbname = "gestionale"
resources.db.isDefaultTableAdapter = true
autoloaderNamespaces[] = "Gestionale_";serve per caricare il plugin di sotto quando si usa anche ZFdebug
resources.frontController.plugins.acl = "Gestionale_Controller_Plugin_Acl"
resources.db.params.profiler = true


....
[testing : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1

and i get this error

in application ini testing extends production so it should have all db config, what am i doing wrong ?

Answer 1

Most likely your php command line interpreter uses a different php.ini file.

To check for MySQL driver open a new shell prompt and run php -m and check that mysql extensions are loaded.

> php -m | grep -i sql
mysql
mysqli
mysqlnd
pdo_mysql
pdo_sqlite
SQLite
sqlite3

To see what ini file is loaded use the -i flag of php command

> php -i | grep ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /opt/local/etc/php5
Loaded Configuration File => /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files => /opt/local/var/db/php5
Additional .ini files parsed => /opt/local/var/db/php5/apc.ini,

Don’t know if on windows there is a grep like command to filter the output, if not you have to examine all the output of both php -m and php -i to gather the required lines or install a windows grep utility
