I’m getting E_NOTICE
errors in a core CakePHP file when it tries to reference a never-set or unset session (cake/libs/cake_session.php line 372
):
function read($name = null) { if (is_null($name)) { return $this->__returnSessionVars(); } if (empty($name)) { return false; } $result = Set::classicExtract($_SESSION, $name); }
I’ve done a search through my code (in the app/ directory) and I can’t find references to $_SESSION
or session_destroy
. Am I missing anything?
This error shows up when I try to run any unit tests. Is this…normal? I’ve cleared out the cake/
directory and replaced it with another one (same version) just to make sure that I hadn’t inadvertently modified anything in the core files, but I still get the same error. I’m not sure if this is just a flaw in the framework or something else.
EDIT
Here are the results of the test run on the command line:

Answer
Turned out there was some extra code in the AppModel that was messing things up:
in beforeFind
and afterFind
:
App::Import("Session"); $session = new CakeSession(); $sim_id = $session->read("Simulation.id");
I don’t know why, but that was what the problem was. Removing those lines fixed the issue I was having.
