Create my database and write out the config in a BEGIN block -- or somehow otherwise delay loading Catalyst::Test. My other option could be to create my own instance of the Model object and then swap it out in the MyApp->components hash. The fact that my model is dynamically generated at startup based on config adds a bit of complexity to it -- but that can be handled. BTW -- for tests where I need to build a database on-the-fly what I currently do is set my "make test" config use dsn => 'dbi:Pg' and then set the PG* environment variables. But, in this case what I'm doing is swapping my Postgresql config in my configuration with one to use a SQLite database in a temporary file just for a few tests. Thanks for the ideas. -- Bill Moseley mose...@hank.org
