That's correct -- I'd like to apply some plack middleware, which is a mocked-up-for-testing version of some middleware we run in production. Since the app now depends upon it, being able to specify it in the catalyst config would be fine. > If you don't like that approach, I could be talked into a patch to > Catalyst::Test that would let you declare additional middleware in the test > case. > > I'd prefer this over messing with Catalyst::Test internals.

Thanks John. I'll keep an eye out for the new release! (but will be hacking up something nasty and temporary until then so I can get some unit tests passing again..)
