=head1 RUNNING THE "CANNED" CATALYST TESTS
$ prove --lib lib t
-The redirection used by the Authentication plugins will cause the
-default C<t/01app.t> to fail. You can fix this by changing the line in
-C<t/01app.t> that read:
+There will be a lot of output because we have the C<-Debug> flag
+enabled in C<lib/MyApp.pm> (see the C<CATALYST_DEBUG=0> tip below for
+a quick and easy way to reduce the clutter). Look for lines like this
+for errors:
+
+ # Failed test 'Request should succeed'
+ # in t/controller_Books.t at line 8.
+ # Looks like you failed 1 test of 3.
+
+B<Note:> Depending on the versions of various modules you have
+installed, you might get some C<used only once> warnings -- you can
+ignore these. If you are following along in Ubuntu 8.10, you can
+prevent them by adding C<no warnings;> above line 49 in
+C</usr/lib/perl5/Template/Base.pm> to match the following:
+
+ ...
+ { no strict qw( refs );
+ no warnings;
+ $argnames = \@{"$class\::BASEARGS"} || [ ];
+ }
+ ...
+
+The redirection used by the Authentication plugins will cause several
+failures in the default tests. You can fix this by making the following
+changes:
+
+1) Change the line in C<t/01app.t> that read:
ok( request('/')->is_success, 'Request should succeed' );
ok( request('/login')->is_success, 'Request should succeed' );
-So that a redirect is not necessary. Also, the C<t/controller_Books.t>
-and C<t/controller_Logout.t> default test cases will fail because of the
-authorization. You can delete these two files to prevent false error
-messages:
+2) Change the C<request('/logout')-E<gt>is_success> to
+C<request('/logout')-E<gt>is_redirect> in C<t/controller_Logout.t>.
+
+3) Change the C<request('/books')-E<gt>is_success> to
+C<request('/books')-E<gt>is_redirect> in C<t/controller_Books.t>.
- $ rm t/controller_Books.t
- $ rm t/controller_Logout.t
+4) Add C<use MyApp;> to the top of C<t/view_TT.t>.
As you can see in the C<prove> command line above, the C<--lib> option
is used to set the location of the Catalyst C<lib> directory. With this

=head1 RUNNING A SINGLE TEST
You can also run a single script by appending its name to the C<prove>
$ CATALYST_DEBUG=0 prove --lib lib t/01app.t
-Note that you can also run tests directly from Perl without C<prove>.

If you want to run the test case under the Perl interactive debugger,
temporarily insert a line similar to the following right after the
failed test:
- warn $ua1->content;
+ diag $ua1->content;
This will cause the full HTML returned by the request to be displayed.

you want to support multiple databases. One solution is to allow the
database specification to be overridden with an environment variable.
