[TYPO3-mvc] Problems with testing Controllers (TDD)

[Michael Knoll]

Hi Jochen,

thanks a lot! I thought, I would get a problem when testing controllers 
without overwriting the "redirect" action. But after thinking about it 
for I while, I can't see the problem, as long as I catch the error 
thrown by the controller on redirect...

So I will give it a try tomorrow.

Do you think, it's a good idea to test controller actions anyway? I 
thought it would be a nice and easy way, to check, whether the actions 
are all still running after refactoring for example...

Hope to see you some day soon in Karlsruhe to talk about all that stuff 
- did a lot of ExtBase learning during the past couple of days and I'm 
really excited to share my thoughts and ideas with you on that to climb 
the next hill in Extbase Extension Development :-)

Greetings

Michael
