phpunit testcase error referencing theme dir

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I created a phpunit test which references Yii::app()->theme->baseUrl.

When I run, I get an error – "no theme directory exist in "/usr/bin/themes".

Wondering anyone had a similar problem using theme and phpunit.

CException: Theme directory "/usr/bin/themes" does not exist.

I did manage to get around this problem by setting

Yii::app()->themeManager->setBasePath(dirname(FILE) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ‘…’ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ‘…’ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ‘…’ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ‘www’ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ‘admin’ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . ‘themes’);

In the beginning of the test. Change to your own theme folder.
