I am on CH13 of the book specifically page: 326.
My SysMessageTest is failing:

Quote

There was 1 failure:

1) SysMessageTest::testGetLatest
Failed asserting that false is true.

trackstar\protected\tests\unit\SysMessageTest.php:12
phpunit:46

FAILURES!
Tests: 1, Assertions: 1, Failures: 1.

My Code is as follows:

SysMessageTest.php

<?php

class SysMessageTest extends CDbTestCase
{
        public $fixtures=array(
            'messages'=>'SysMessage',
        );
        
        public function testGetLatest()
        {
            $message = SysMessage::getLatest();
            $this->assertTrue($message instanceof SysMessage);
        }
}

tbl_sys_message.php

<?php
return array(
    'message1'=>array(
        'message' => 'This is a test message',
        'create_time' => new CDbExpression('NOW()'),
        'create_user_id' => 1,
        'update_time' => new CDbExpression('NOW()'),
        'update_user_id' => 1,
    ),
);

GetLatest function in SysMessage AR Class

public static function getLatest()
        {
                //see if it is in the cache, if so, just return it
                if( ($cache=Yii::app()->cache)!==null)
                {
                    $key='TrackStar.ProjectListing.SystemMessage';
                    if(($sysMessage=$cache->get($key))!==false)
                        return $sysMessage;
                }
                
                //The system message was either not found in the cache, or
                //there is no cache component defined for the application
                //retrieve the system message from the database
                $sysMessage = SysMessage::model()->find(array(
                    'order'=>'t.update_time DESC',
                ));
                
                if($sysMessage != null)
                {
                    //a valid message was found. Store it in cache for future retrievals
                    if(isset($key))
                    $cache->set($key,$sysMessage,300);
                    return $sysMessage;
                }
                else
                    return null;
        }

Now I did get this test to pass by continuing on and generating the cache with the ProjectController::actionIndex call. However once I changed the cache location in the test.php configuration so the dev and test cache locations are different it would then again fail.
