Soft Delete interferes with PHPUnit Testing

[NickBusey]

Running my tests, I get the following error:

Missing Database Table
Error: Table device for model Device was not found in datasource test.

Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create app/View/Errors/missing_table.ctp

Stack Trace
CORE/Cake/Model/Model.php line 3640 → Model->setSource(string)
CORE/Cake/Model/Model.php line 1387 → Model->getDataSource()
CORE/Cake/Model/Model.php line 1479 → Model->schema()
APP/Model/Behavior/SoftDeleteBehavior.php line 63 → Model->hasField(string)
CORE/Cake/Model/BehaviorCollection.php line 145 → SoftDeleteBehavior->setup(Device, array)

If I comment out the actsAs => SoftDelete line, it works fine.

Any ideas? Thanks much for all your work.

Thats normal if u add the behavior
You didnt include the related fixtures then.

[NickBusey]

Not sure what you mean? I do have fixtures included, and they work without the behavior.

[dereuromark]

Did you also add the device fixture as the error warns about?

[NickBusey]

Yes, as I said if I uncomment the SoftDelete behavior, it works as expected.

[dereuromark]

I rather see a mistake in your model or fixture setup. Shoudnt device be plural devices?
Can you maybe bin your test code?

[NickBusey]

Here's a simplified copy of the model and fixture code.

With actsAs SoftDelete it fails with a Missing Database Table error.

Comment out actsAs SoftDelete and it works.

I still suspect the inflection to be the root cause of the issue here. Did you try using the conventions "devices" name approach here for the table name?

[NickBusey]

I changed 'device' to 'devices'. The web end works fine. Running the test, get the same error pointing now at 'devices'.

Missing Database Table
Error: Table devices for model Device was not found in datasource test.

I'm going to assume this is an unknown issue with an unknown timeframe for a fix. I'm going to try and start debugging it. Any ideas or suggestions on where to look first would be appreciated.

[NickBusey]

Commenting out Line 239 of SoftDeleteBehavior.php seems to fix the issue with the tests. The behavior functionality seems to work without this line: $this->_softDeleteAssociations($model, $active);

[dereuromark]

SoftDelete is deprecated and only 2.x needs fixing if someone is filling to provide a PR.

[dereuromark]

Closing until PR is open.
