Thanks for your code! It didn’t work however with the 1.2 Stable version, so here is a version that conforms more with the 1.2 code:

PS Feel free to remove my above two comments with the code that isn’t displayed correctly

It didn’t seem to work posting code here. Trying once again:

Controller =& new EmailComponentTestController();
restore_error_handler();

$this->Controller->constructClasses();
$this->Controller->Component->initialize($this->Controller);
$this->Controller->beforeFilter();
$this->Controller->Component->startup($this->Controller);

set_error_handler(’simpleTestErrorHandler’);
$this->Controller->Email->startup($this->Controller);
ClassRegistry::addObject(‘view’, new View($this->Controller));
}

function testEmailComponentInstance() {
$this->assertTrue(is_a($this->Controller->Email, ‘EmailComponent’));
}

function tearDown() {
$this->Controller->Component->shutdown($this->Controller);
$this->Controller->afterFilter();
}
}
?>
