Welcome to Catalyst, and Handel.
A better place for your questions is probably:

First, a disclaimer. The Helper generated code is old, and not that
bright. It was written long before some of the latest TT and Cat updates
that changed defaults, like TEMPLATE_EXTENSION, default_view and other
goodies. Some things to check:

Make sure TT and Cat are up to date. Make sure you have a default_view
set to TToolkit and no TEMPLATE_EXTENSION set. Make sure RenderView is
installed. I'd assume that some of this is caused by code assuming that
you're using TT instead of TTolkit, and possibly that you have
RenderView action installed.

How many views do you have, and what are they named?

The Handel Helper generates a TT view on it's own anyways:

    $helper->mk_component($app, 'view', 'TT', 'TT');

Did you run the helper against a new Cat app, or an existing one with
other code in it?
