Re: Write unit test for a controller that uses AuthComponent in CakePHP 2.0.3

The only thing I can suggest is to add the mocked method to your
generate function :

$this->Users = $this->generate('Users', array( 'components'
=> array('Session', 'Auth' => array('user') ) ));

Not sure if it would mock the method otherwise.
