If you need this to work in CakePHP 2, I’ve blogged an alternative solution:

Just wanted to point out that this code will not work for controllers that are not in the main controller directory (e.g. app/controllers/). I have some controllers in a sub-directory that are not getting picked up. I added that extra folder to my bootstrap config and this code errored out saying that the file could not be found, because it was looking only in the main controllers directory. I'd recommend changing:


                $fileName = Inflector::underscore($controller).'_controller.php';
                require_once(CONTROLLERS.$fileName);


                App::import('Controller', $controller);

That way Cake will work it's magic to find the file even if it's in an secondary directory. P.S. I've only done this in version 1.2, but I have a feeling it should work in later versions.

@cetver: Thanks for your component!

However, there is a problem with your approach to detect the action names. It will only find actions with views…

//and final component :)
find('.*_controller\.php');
		foreach( $controllers as $controller ) {
			$views  = array();
			$controller_name = substr($controller, 0, strpos($controller, '_controller'));
			if ( $controller_name !== 'app' ) {
				$actions_folder = new Folder( APP . 'views' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $controller_name );
				$actions = $actions_folder->find('.*\.ctp');
				foreach( $actions as $action ) {
					$action_name = substr($action, 0, strpos($action, '.'));					
					array_push($views, $action_name);
				}
				$result[$controller_name] = $views;
			}
		}
		return $result;
	}
}
