You can connect to your server at http://curtis-poes-computer-3.local:3000
[warn] Calling $c->view() will return a random view unless you specify one of:
[warn] * $c->config(default_view => "the name of the default view to use")
[warn] * $c->stash->{current_view} # the name of the view to use for this
request
[warn] * $c->stash->{current_view_instance} # the instance of the view to use
for this request
[warn] NB: in version 5.81, the "random" behavior will not work at all.
[error] Caught exception in

I can't tell why from the docs. This is low priority for me, so I
stopped using it as I don't (yet) need this feature.
The fix is given in the warning message, eg:
__PACKAGE__->config(default_view => 'TT'); # or whatever the
name of your view is.
Then you have a 'default' view for your app and Catalyst doesn't
need to choose one at random. AutoCRUD is adding another view
and Catalyst doesn't know which one to use by default.
Assigning a default_view in config is good practice anyway; it's
not just an issue with AutoCRUD. Add it now, and don't get
bitten later when the same problem crops up with something else
(eg. adding a view for sending emails).
3. It's not clear from the docs (to me) how to restrict access.
I'm using Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole and a custom role to ensure
that certain urls can only be accessed by those with admin
privileges. I can't tell how to hook this into AutoCRUD. I
suppose I could write a
custom subclass of the plugin, so this is the least of my issues.
How about using C::P::Authorization::ACL, eg:
__PACKAGE__->deny_access_unless(
"/autocrud",
[qw/admin/], # user must have role 'admin'
);
I balked at adding C::P::Authorization::ACL to my app just for
AutoCRUD, but I couldn't find a better way of adding auth
restrictions to AutoCRUD. Maybe someone else will suggest
something more elegant. (I seem to recall reading something a
while back about performance degradation with
C::P::Authorization::ACL; can anyone clarify?)
