Hi, I'm using Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase to test my controllers. This class provides various ways to test the rendered output, but I don't want to get my view scripts involved. I'd like to test my view's vars. Is there a way to access to the controllers view object?

Here is an example, what I'm trying to do:

<?php
class Controller extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $this-view->foo = 'bar';
    }
}

class ControllerTest extends Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase
{

    public function testShowCallsServiceFind()
    {
        $this->dispatch('/controller');

        //doesn't work, there is no such method:
        $this->assertViewVar('foo', 'bar');

        //doesn't work:
        $this-assertEquals(
            'bar',
            $this->getView()->foo
        );

    }
}
