That's supposed to happen. Try making sure the tests can find a config file
(see Plugin::ConfigLoader docs for what env var to set for this) that provides
a suitable set of config info for them to be instantiated with.

If you don't want the ::Model::* object instantiated, don't inherit from
Catalyst::Model.

Oh, and next time you ask the list for help, please explain the -actual-
problem and the behaviour you're seeing rather than asking for help with
your half-assed hack around it, you'll get better answers faster (nothing
personal, this mistake is so common it's got its own name - "XY problem" :)
