Cannot access app.yml property within functional test

[warren2k]

I'm on Day 9 of the Jobeet tutorial and am receiving the following error when running the jobActions functional test:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in /home/sfprojects/jobeet/test/functional/frontend/jobActionsTest.php on line 24[/code]

On line 24, I have the following statement, which I copied from the "Only n jobs are listed for a category" section:

Code: Select all

    $max = sfConfig::get('app_max_jobs_on_homepage');

I've checked /apps/frontend/config/app.yml, and it contains, among other things:

Code: Select all

    max_jobs_on_homepage: 10

Can someone help me figure out what's going wrong with reading this setting from within my jobActionsTest.php file?

I figured out what I did wrong. I did not follow directions. I did not add the code at the end of the test file exactly as indicated. I placed the new code for the 1.2 test BEFORE the previous test's semicolon, which basically had me adding to that chain of function calls, like this:

Code: Select all

  with('response')->begin()->
    info('  1.1 - Expired jobs are not listed')->
    checkElement('.jobs td.position:contains("expired")', false)->
  end()

  $max = sfConfig::get('app_max_jobs_on_homepage');
 
  $browser->info('1 - The homepage')->
    get('/')->
    info(sprintf('  1.2 - Only %s jobs are listed for a category', $max))->
    with('response')->
      checkElement('.category_programming tr', $max)
  ;

Once I placed the new code AFTER the previous chained statement's semicolon, everything worked fine with reading the value from the config file:

Code: Select all

  with('response')->begin()->
    info('  1.1 - Expired jobs are not listed')->
    checkElement('.jobs td.position:contains("expired")', false)->
  end()
  ;
 
  $max = sfConfig::get('app_max_jobs_on_homepage');
 
  $browser->info('1 - The homepage')->
    get('/')->
    info(sprintf('  1.2 - Only %s jobs are listed for a category', $max))->
    with('response')->
      checkElement('.category_programming tr', $max)
  ;

It was a newbie mistake.
