[Catalyst] writing a test suite for my app

[Daniel McBrearty]

OK, some questions ... not all are really catalyst things, just holes in my
knowledge, but still ...

1. I have a redirect in my root ...

sub default : Private {
    my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
    $c->response->redirect('/public/home');
}

I can test that this is a redirect in 01app.t ...

ok( request('/')->is_redirect, 'root redirects' );

but how do I test where it redirects to?

2. in my attempt to work out the above, I tried inserting ...

print "CONTENT IS:".request('/')->content."\n";

in the test file ... but I never see the output? why? how do I do something
like this to in a .t file?

3. why does this :

ok( request('public/index')->is_success, 'Request should succeed' );

get seen as a request to "index" in my controller? (I thought the "/" really
belonged to the root eg localhost:3000/ ... so if anything I'd have expected
/public/index to be a problem ...)

thanks

Daniel
