How To Unittest Models With Captcha?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

How do we unit test models with Captcha?

(or)

How do we avoid Captcha check during unittest?

Hi

you could set in config/test.php a parameter that you assign that your application is in test mode. then add a condition in the model and view when the captcha is required using this parameter.

That was the only approach I could think of too. Thanks.

I prefer things like captcha check to be in the controller and not the model.




array('verifyCode', 'captcha', 'allowEmpty' => !(CCaptcha::checkRequirements() && Yii::app()->user->isGuest && (!Yii::app()->params['testing']))),

Hi,

If you want to do it in controller, set a scenario for model in Controller

…


if (Yii::app()->user->isGuest && (!Yii::app()->params['testing'])) {

$model->scenario='test'

}

In model


array('verifyCode', 'captcha', 'allowEmpty' => !CCaptcha::checkRequirements(), 'on'=>'test ),
