Cakephp form not submitting

I am trying to make a test form in a view I have. So far I have only very simple fields to test if everything is working right (it's not)

$this->Form->create('user', array('url'=>array('controller'=>'users', 'type' => 'post', 'action'=>'add')));
echo $this->Form->input('username');
echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit', true));

Now this prints the submit button and I would assume when it clicked it, it would call the "add" function in my UsersController.php file.

However I have something like this in the controller file

 class UsersController extends AppController {
     .......

public function add() {
 if ($this->request->is('post')) { 
   debug(TEST); die;
   $this->User->create();
   if ($this->User->save($this->request->data)) {
     $this->Session->setFlash(__('The user has been saved'));
     $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
  } else {
  $this->Session->setFlash(__('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
 }}}

  ........

}

Note the debug there and die there, when I submit the debug doesn't print TEST and nothing happens on the page so I assume my form is not submitting properly. I honestly have no idea why, I have been basing my approach in the solutions found here How to submit form for one model in another's controller?

Found the solution, was stuck for hours because an echo was missing before creating the form, I thought those were only supposed to print stuff. I feel utterly terrible
