 Btw, there is another useful module out there:

It's not very useful for me, since it only includes requests. I need logs
and authentication methods. :(

Thanks. That looks like a much better solution.

Are there plans to make a CPAN module or include a mock context for tests in
the Catalyst distro?

[Catalyst] How to handle role checking using a MockObject for Catalyst contexts

My application has a lot of tests scripts (and even some utility scripts)
that create a Test::MockObject that imitates a Catalyst context.
