Yes,

my $APPLOC = 'http://localhost/calapp/no';
$u->get_ok ($APPLOC, 'Application startup');

fails with:

Couldn't instantiate component "CalApp::Model::CalAppDB", "Either 
->config->{connect_info} must be defined for CalApp::Model::CalAppDB or 
CalAppDB must have connect info defined on itHere's what we got:
$VAR1 = bless( {
                  'schema_class' => 'CalAppDB',
                  'connect_info' => undef
                }, 'CalApp::Model::CalAppDB' );
  at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Catalyst/Test.pm line 90" at 
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Catalyst/Test.pm line 90

Basically, it's complaining about missing connect_info. When I use 
CalApp "normally" (running script/calapp_server.pl) everything, 
including config with connect_info, is set up like it should.

For some reason, when CalApp is started through the test module the 
CalApp module doesn't seem to initialize correctly.

It's already running with full debug information. Lots of debug when run 
"normally", nothing when started with the script. Looks like I'm missing 
something vital that will/should kick off the CalApp server "properly", 
but I thought Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst would take care of that 
when I told it to load 'CalApp' in the use statement.
