CakePHP Unit testing controller returning undefined variable

Vote count:

I am new to the Unit Testing portion of CakePHP. There is no better time to learn than now.

I have ready through all of the documentation and numerous tutorials on the web. I have run up against a snag during the completion of some of my more basic unit tests.

My Controller test looks like this:

    class TestsControllerTest extends ControllerTestCase {

    public $fixtures = array('app.test');

    public function testIndex() {

        $result = $this->testAction('tests/index');
        debug($result);
    }
    }

The output of my test is:

PHPUNIT_FRAMEWORK_ERROR_NOTICE
Undefined variable: tests
Test case: testsControllerTest(testIndex)

The only viable solution to the error I am receiving would be that maybe the test controller needs authentication before it can actually run the testAction() ?

This is a very simple sample from the CakePHP Documentation guide, yet I receive and undefined variable error. Any help is greatly appreciated.
