Um, it's sort of moot now, because the frustration with the tests got me
thinking about my code organization, and I decided to collapse my
authentication and ACL into a single plugin. But the preDispatch() does not
instantiate my Model_Acl unless there is an authenticated user. It has the
efficiency of what I was attempting before, and then some, while not
presenting any testing problems (yet).
But I take your point about the exception. Although the method is tested
elsewhere and so I figured if it fails here, abort the test run and fix the
problem.But -- still learning.
Many thanks.
