   where:

   • $target - target object;
   • $proxy - new object for testing.

Testing the View with a CSS Selector

1. Create View test on controller test:

   $opt = [
       'method' => 'GET',
       'return' => 'contents',
   ];
   $url = 'some_controller/some_action/some_param';
   $view = $this->testAction($url, $opt);
   $numTableRows = $this->getNumberItemsByCssSelector($view, 'div#content div.container table > tbody > tr');
   $expected = 2;
   $this->assertData($expected, $numTableRows);
   

Applying testing configuration of application from file

1. Copy configuration file from app/Plugin/CakeExtendTest/Test/TestConfig.php to app/Test.

2. Edit config file and configure application for testing, e.g.:

   $config['TestKey'] = ['SomeKey' => 'Some data...'];
   

Applying testing information of logged-on user from array

1. Copy file from app/Plugin/CakeExtendTest/Test/AppTestTrait.php to app/Test.

2. Edit file AppTestTrait.php. e.g.:

   /**

    *
    * @var array
    */
   protected $userInfo = [
       'user' => 'Хвощинский В.В.',
       'role' => USER_ROLE_USER,
       'prefix' => '',
       'id' => '7',
       'includedFields' => [
           CAKE_LDAP_LDAP_ATTRIBUTE_OBJECT_GUID => '8c149661-7215-47de-b40e-35320a1ea508'
       ]
   ];

   /**

    * @return void
    */
   public function setUp() {
       $this->setDefaultUserInfo($this->userInfo);
       parent::setUp();

       'prefix' => 'admin',
   ];

       [
           100, // $id
       ], // Params for step 2
       [
           2, // $id
       ], // Params for step 3
   ];
   $expected = [
       false, // Result of step 1
       [], // Result of step 2
       [
           'some data'
       ], // Result of step 3
